Work and re-work

Sorry for the skipped day. I ended up reworking this picture a couple of times. The original version was too tightly drawn. I lost the sense of spontaneity that the subject matter requires. (The sketch I ended up using is shown below, by the way.) Also, now that I've decided to work with watercolor, I'm realizing that the artwork has to be conceived with a stronger sense of light. Originally, I was thinking that I would handle each page like a poster, with large flat areas of color, but with watercolor, that's really failing to use the medium.  

Finally, you may have noticed that the type has changed. It turns out that my handwriting can be fairly hard to read, something that should have been apparent to me in the last 39-odd years, but that somehow I managed to ignore. I will probably continue to play with the formatting for awhile, though.

More fun, tomorrow..
