Before I went to the studio today, I worked with my stylus and Wacom tablet to experiment with color. I was trying to decide what colors I wanted to lean toward on some of the petals. I experimented for a while, full well knowing that the colors on my screen would not match the colors on my canvas. At least I knew what color range I wanted to move towards. Following that, I went to the studio to glaze the center and surrounding petals so they would unify the rest of the work on the outer petals and background. I’m savoring these last days of working on this painting.

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