Got my 2nd Covid booster, which gave me an all-day headache.
Go, immune system, go!
29 June – 3 July, 2022
While on vacation I didn’t try to do much observational painting. Instead, I worked on figuring out how to draw Celtic-style interlace. I’m sure there are books and tutorials, but I needed to occupy my mind and hands, and treating these as a puzzle was soothing and calming. Here are my workpages, and you can see I even got a couple finished that I feel pretty happy with.

This will be the last day I post this painting. I may touch him up some, but I don’t think there will be any substantial changes.
It has been really good to work on this absorbing geometry to calm and soothe my mind over the past week.

this guy again

Tired of this guy yet? I probably have a couple more days of working on him. Not quite happy with the colors, and want to tidy it up. Not working on anything else for now.

I think the next post will have some colors.

I had a long work day and not as much studio time as I wished (also tired!) but I think you can see where this is heading. I am imagining dense overall patterning, and thinking about colors. But still a few sessions away from finished.
I’m not entirely sure about this change of posting progress rather than daily inspiration, but it’s what I want to do for now, so I’m going with it.

The scan is a bit blurry because the paper is still attached to a board that doesn’t quite fit on the bed. But here you go, progress of the day. I am really enjoying this retreat into repetitive, meditative process. i imagined the face as being more simple and generic than it turned out, but I’m leaving it as is till the other busy stuff gets sorted.
