Boardwalk Days part 51

When I got up this morning, I expected I would go up to my Studio, but I had no idea what I would work on.  I might make a few changes and try a new print of my latest Robert Johnson print.  Or maybe I would start coloring the latest boardwalk print, sitting in my drying rack for a good month and a half, and thoroughly dry by now, safe to color.  By the time I left to go up there, I had decided to let the ink dry on my block for a little longer, and do the coloring.  Brought the coloring stuff with me.

No Molly when I got there, though I did see some evidence that she had been there since my last visit- the box set to radio and high volume.  I set it back to CD and put on a disc of music, in this case tropical brainstorm by Kirsty MacColl, an album that Molly would like if she was there, and one have written about before in March of 2020.  This will be my third time coloring this print, having done a test coloring on heavy paper, and a practice proof on the same Japanese paper more recently.  If this works out, it will be the first one for the edition, a final version.  One good thing about having done this before, is that most of the colors have been worked out, so fewer decisions to make.  Most of what I did today was copied directly from the one I did last month in case I needed it for the Open Studio or the documentary reception.  Because I don't need to work out color choices, it's not colored in exactly the same order as the last color proof, though I don't think I changed too much from the last one.  Below you can see what I got done today:

I expect to be back again in a few days, but I am still not sure what I will be working on.  When the disc I had on ended I went with another female artist, one I had there in the Studio- the Righteous Ones album from Toshi Reagon, with a write up back in August of 2021.  Most of what I did today was very similar, a lot of Buff Titanium and white, and colors made from thoset, so pieces of buildings, skin tones, sand, and the boardwalk itself.  No bold colors. It's a good start.  What I do next time is still undecided.
