cake

the inside/outside

in between two pieces.  was shocked to find it in a pile last week.  it's not about cake.

was kind of stuck on a certain kind of a line, made it back in there with the less psychological blobs. just now something bumped me in the head.  Crack!  start wearing down the rigor of pseudo-formalist conceits...

cutting diamonds out of watermelon rind was natural enough process.

and where there's watermelon rind, there's some fool to print with it.

a revision.   there's always a story line.  pretending there is none is an invitation to make one up.  all roads lead to Rome.  continuity... what seem to be distortions occur so often that we automatically fix  them in what we think we see.  a face examined in minutia gives a full account.

I've got another big painting started and it's entirely too slow that this point.  I'm not used to these things going so slow, no coffee in over a week.  everything seems really slow.

this is another from the revision pile of last april.  more variety in line and less insistence on surface continuity has really opened this one up a bit.
