Back at our retreat. The opposite to New York in every way.

Free from the past
This is not a true negative. It just feels like one to me.
Free
Another in the Ten Zen Seconds series, (I am free) (from the past).
The idea of making a negative image continues… next entry.

#0730 Richard Diebenkorn
A sketch from a photo in the book I am reading: The Art of Richard Diebenkorn. Great book. Reviews on Amazon say a lot, and say good things about this book.
I was struck by the Diebenkorn paintings in San Francisco – at the SFMoMA and at the De Young. I sneaked a picture. I will go on to say more about this artist & the Bay Area Figurative school. His work and a Matisse follow:

I had to re enter the process. These are ones that I am doing as I read about Richard Diebenkorn – and they are derivative. But then Diebenkorn derived his Ocean park series from a Matisse, and took it a long way on! More later I’ll try to find some images for the next post.

To be honest this one feels totally off key. I spent ages on it, there must be a dozen saved in the process.
Pattern
Aother stray, from right at the start of the project. It should probably be # 30 or something. I find these as I tidy up.

I did the last two “plein air”, however in the second one I had the first image as one of the layers as a reference for the lines. In an aha moment I combined the two as layers and did some post production. I like the result.
