December 31st, 2015, six canvases on the studio wall.

These are sketchworks, one painting a day; an attempt to get acquainted to a mid-size format and, at the same time, an exercise in the tuning of red, blue and yellow into a full-toned grayscale. Yellow ochre, cobalt blue, Indian red. Sometimes titanium/zinc white.

Sometimes I feel close to escaping the horizon.
