The palette I’m working towards is a rich range of purples, magentas, yellow greens and lemon yellows. Also, I worked on restoring the centering of the flowers in the middle of the canvas. I had to paint opaque white with some lemon yellow to cover the off-center lines, so now the center looks far more bold and flat than I intend. The background is starting to pick up the color range I’m hoping for, but I’m not satisfied at all yet.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
