master paintings
i decided i would use february “thing-a-day” to fulfill a goal i’ve had for more exposure to master painters and to experiment (badly) with watercolor. while each day’s activities may vary, master painters and my own clumsy watercolor technique will usually be involved. i may do some poetry or other writing around this work during the month, as well.
today, i discovered louis khela maqhubela and an untitled piece he painted (mixed media) in 1975. i used water colors to do my own version of it and then to create a self portrait based on the original art. here’s a cluster of three pieces (maqhubela’s original is in the upper right corner). to see complete views of what i painted today, go see my post.
