'TOMATOES IN STRIPED BOWL'
Something caught my painter's eye, and so I seized the moment. My thoughts went to a recent e-letter from Robert Genn's list called the painter keys, about 'kissing'. Should objects touch? How much overlap is enough in a composition? I also thought about something I heard Wayne Thiebaud say in an interview on 'Spark' (pbs.org), he spoke about articulating the variations of light in a painting as glint, gleam and glow.

CLOUDS
The cloud formations have been magnificent lately- so I started this from a window view. I was thinking about composition ideas I've been reading about, like dominance and subordination or notan, light/dark shape relationships. Since this was small I decided to paint more thickly than I usually do, pushing the paint around.

FIGURE 32
This was done in two sittings from a live model. I tried to finish it in one sitting, but I decided to leave behind my goal and do what the painting needed. It was fun to paint her warm reflective skin and red hair. I have shifted my approach to a more 'a la prima' painterly style.
