Three more on the table. Each a third of the way done. I may do a second post later today.

Happy Mingus Hump Day!

Changing Light. SMD 2018

The light is changing, and so are the shapes I am seeing. The shadow on Mingus no longer a skinny pie slice. It almost covers the smaller “hump”. Illustrates just how far the two mounds are from each other. And the front range has a dip in it. Like a scoop has been taken off the right side. Cool and interesting. Mingus Mocha anyone?

This merry Mingus medley brought to you by the letter m, as in middle. And the number 5, as in five weeks and counting.

I have passed the halfway mark. Working in batches to catch up, I missed the pomp and circumstance. And the chance to share a properly timed celebratory composition.

Still, I feel like saying… Wooo Hooo!

Fathers fifth week in the hospital, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
That deserves a Wooo Hooo too!
And a HALELULEJAH AMEN!

Just a mellow Mingus Monday. I completely botched this. From bottom to top. What I tried, new for me, didn’t work. So I just spread the paint, and evened it all out. Maybe that is why they call it a wash. Ha ha. I will try again.

I touched up #11. I reworked four shadow areas on Mingus. You might not even see a difference, but I feel better about it. The dark areas at the bottom. In the “v” of the front range, and to the left of that. Also the two side by side shadows at the top. And the third shadow from the left. I softened some hard edges and lifted some paint to lighten some of those areas.
