your freshly posted studio drawing is nice. It has a bit of the feel of an Antonio López García. Nice work. Best, Kevin
Thanks Kevin. Hundreds of hours later I’m finally done with the damn thing. I can finally move on and so can my studio.

The Diebs.
Noted To Myself On Beginning A Painting
by Richard Diebenkorn1. Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion.
2. The pretty, initial position which falls short of completeness is not to be valued- except as a stimulus for further moves.
3. Do search. But in order to find other than what is searched for.
4. Use and respond to the initial fresh qualities but consider them absolutely expendable
5. Don’t ‘discover’ a subject- of any kind.
6. Somehow, don’t be bored- but if you must, use it in action. Use its destructive potential
7. Mistakes can’t be erased but they move you from your present position
8. Keep thinking of Pollyanna
9. Tolerate chaos
10. Be careful only in a perverse way.
