irma re-visited / by Philip Tarlow

irma 38x36", as it looked before the re-work

2:14 PM: after living with irma since it was completed just over 2 weeks ago, i  decided it was too black and needed a radical re-work. nothing excites me more than a radical re-work! well, maybe i can think of a few things.

irma at the end of my painting day today

so this morning i launched into it while listening to a youtube video of an amazing klezmer band from barcelona, with a vivacious singer. it's unrecognizable, although there's still some black lingering beneath the surface. it's not yet resolved, but it's in a state where i feel comfortable stopping for the day. mornings have become a bit nippy for our morning trail walks, at 35 F this morning and 31 projected for tomorrow morning, so we're going to shift to afternoon trail walks, and we'll be leaving in about 25 minutes.
