The panels moved out of the basement half of the studio and into the space between easel and wall. I began working on the panels using oil paints on September 1. As I worked I found myself working first in response to the layers applied by Petra and Franz. Subsequently I began responding to the layers of oil paint I had added. Finally I began applying the oils in ways similar to the manner in which Petra works with watercolor and began working with a thicker consistency to build brush strokes, at times even a slight impasto (with the help of some homemade wax painting medium) blue paint that would appeal to Franz. The paintings are drying and need a bit of a rest before I decide which might be worked further (or not). In the meantime here are photos I have taken of each with my iPhone. I photographed each painting four times, hung each time in a different orientation so that the light could play off the edges, surfaces and brushstrokes and so the variations that happen across the surface might be perceived a bit better. The light is a natural, mid-day light partially filtered through the sunshade that is on the window-wall of the greenhouse opposite the wall on which the paintings were photographed. Slight cropping of the outer edge has occurred as I eliminated the wall in the background of the photos.
