back to the studio / by Philip Tarlow

4/8/24 creekscape. day 1

2:05 PM: mikela is progressing with her healing so this is the first day i was able to go to my studio for about 3 hours. i had been ruminating over the past week and envisioing clearing a space on my work table, unrolling an 85” wide roll of portrait linen and seeing where i go.

that’s exactly what i did. using only a few oil colors and looking at one of my enlarged creek photos, i started this new painting. no idea where it might go, but that’s part of the journey i’m on.

i stasrted working on this new painting on my work table, with the canvas unrolled and uncut to leave space for whatever happens next
