I started another of these ink and gouache paintings. Sometimes I wonder if I should even post them incomplete. But I’m still holding to posting each day what I made, and it’s enough of a picture I suppose, even in the incomplete state.
Sometimes when I lack inspiration, I leaf through old National Geographics that I keep around for collage material. I found this orangutan to be an arresting presence.
This painting is after a photo by Tim Laman, in a Dec. 2016 article about Orangutans at Risk.
