Minor Adjustments

Choosing to accept the limitations of this particular portrait mean that my finishing touches remain just that. Of course, there really is no such thing as a finishing touch, only the last stroke before the work is abandoned. New ideas at this point are anathema unless one has another canvas, primed and ready to go.
Fortunately, I have another 70.























An abstract, improvised over two canvases and going nowhere since early May.

Upended and smothered in Hansa Yellow and Carbon Black.

Another Carrot

Working on the Image Wall again after seven weeks away.

It started off as a carrot. That's why it's orange.

Minor adjustments need to be made (those famous last words).



























Less than 9 per cent of the Wall.

Gathering even more material for the Image Wall.
