May 2021, feet up, view of my studio from my easy chair

Reflection turned sideways on the easel. A very complex painting, I’ve spent most of the past few months working mostly on this one piece. But the start of a nude self-portrait can be seen in the back, left, as well as a portrait of an artist friend, John Hall, back right.

Here, unhappy with the way the painting was headed, I’ve sanded down La Luna, the first step of a complete re-working of the painting.
