I had several painting sessions with a new painting titled Washington Square. I finished the drawing yesterday morning (6th or 7th drawing session) and started straightaway on the painting. The 44″ x 60″ has twelve figures–and pigeons! It’s not far enough along to show yet. The painting is very rough and I don’t think anyone looking at it at this point could come away with a sense of its design.
I also put grounds on several canvases. Lately, I favor warm-gray grounds and the new canvases look very inviting–I can’t wait to get started on them. One of the new canvases is 5′ x 6.’
