September is turning up as a productive time. For my one-a-days, somewhat in imitation of Agnes Martin's grids, I started doing these close-spaced lines with some open spaces.

I liked these, so I made one in a larger format. I think this may work up into something although the background needs to be more solid. It strobes in real life.

I've been pushing on with ink paintings. I think this is a painting.
Of course I like it better upside down. Maybe I should stand on my head when I paint.
This is almost a painting. I think it wants something more on the right side, or something not so vertical or --gasp!-- a bit of a color that isn't black or white. (It's still taped to the easel, ignore the particolored edges.)
Surprisingly, this is no better upside down.
I think I'm getting over my compulsion to fill the entire space. Some time away from the project has been a good thing.
