Days 50 – 56

100 Day Project: Day 50 March 11, 2020

A little color study. Not the sexiest work, but the best way to systematically understand the colors. And of course I had way too much paint left over… so more of those spare paint types of pieces will probably be in the works.

100 Day Project: Day 51 March 12, 2020

I also worked yesterday on some texture studies. Which I continued this morning. What a frustrating challenge to get things to stay in place. Today I white washed the pieces to make the textures pop out. To be continued.

100 Day Project: Day 52 March 13, 2020

Lines. Lines. More lines. Struggling to find some new insightful thoughts to regurgitate here.

100 Day Project: Day 53 March 14, 2020

Is this mid-project exhaustion? 53 is so many days.

100 Day Project: Day 54 March 15, 2020

I about ruined a piece this morning. Added spare paint to it to cover areas I didn’t like. Then it got out of control. So I washed it all off. I like the way the lines look worn now from being under water.

Covid-19…

100 Day Project: Day 55 March 16, 2020

In the spirit of exploring textures and with the inability to find supplies on the road, I worked plies of toilet paper onto a piece last night with paint and added lines to it today. Can’t find hand sanitizer either. It’s going to be a long road home. I don’t know what further measures will be taken to slow the spread of this virus and I hope we don’t get caught up in it on the road.

100 Day Project: Day 56 March 17, 2020

That didn’t go as planned. Again. Tuesday’s never seem to be a good day for one reason or another to lay the art out for documentation▪️
