A Quick Study-

 Contemplating going bigger with this. 

Annisquam- session 3

 Another session with this painting. Tonight was session 3- (3hrs) It’s coming together (I think I need a second opinion). Wondering where I can let go here.  I’m trying to stay committed to not killing myself on a school night- but wanted to end on a high note. That took until 11pm.

Annisquam- First Pass

 

A few things have been factors in me slowing down and changing my process I think. 1. I’m reading a biography on Leonardo. Value studies are important. 2. I usually push a painting to almost completion during my first session, and then I’m all wired and can’t sleep. I’m trying to sustain my practice. If not increase it. If I work until exhaustion, then can’t sleep, I will resist studio time knowing that it throws a wrench into my flow. 

Alexandra’s Isolation in Color

 

First painting of 2021- Since sketching this last night I dreamt of it in color. Color intuition was happening towards the end of this session. I wanted a cool impressionistic background that looks cool and glittery- also with movement-

Alexandra’s Isolation

 Starting 2021 in isolation and poor Alex also has poison ivy. My poor girl is suffering so much. It’s all over the other side of this face.
