Anodyne

Back to that little Mount Pleasant garden, which I now suppose counts as a "motif," like certain cactus species or mud volcanoes, something to return to in the absence of anything more pressing going on. No good picture(s) made.  Criticism: grid-like compositions that subjugate individual elements (a little apple tree; plastic pots; a wood trellis) to the decorative design of the picture plane; rote "tangles" that don't tug the images' deep space forward). Positive: small, graphic elements -- sticks; twigs; branches; rope -- that break flat areas of color behind them, eg., the lower left corner of this more successful picture from summer 2018).
