I am spending more of the sitting looking, and I am not certain it is generosity. What I am really asking about is where the single green accent belongs. So the whole discipline sits in the seconds before the brush moves, where nothing is visible and nothing can be judged. Only the fine pen, the sumi brush and the sable brush were needed. Unsettled, and I have written it down so it stays that way.

Does the green tick belong to the garment or to the sheet?

The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
