I am deep into my
van Goghesque self-portrait and have learned not what to do. I hope to finish it and start another one
tomorrow.
29 August 2021
I put the
finishing touches on my van Goghesque self-portrait. My cellmate, Chris Larson , likes it. It is using a violet and yellow complimentary
color scheme, which is what he really likes.
It is a disaster. I learned how to not work in the style of van
Gogh. I believe I need to make puddles
of paint with my yellows and violets, including their grays from mixing them. Then paint in a more traditional mode, just
leaving heavy impasto with very visible brush strokes.
I added glazing
on my cubist self-portrait and signed it, much larger than my typical signature
(the eye sight is a problem).
I ran 5.4 miles
today.
