returning to 9/22/2021 painting/collage, 42x54" / by Philip Tarlow

9/22/2021 painting/collage at 3pm

3pm: I did extensive work on the red headed paddler on the right & am still working.

1:24 PM: first stage of my revision of 11/3/21 of 9/22/2021 painting/collage.

the figure of the falling skater in red is gone, except for a segment of her arm & leg. the drawing for a second paddler has been partially made, in charcoal. the composition is already more coherent, if you compare with the previous state, BELOW.

stay tuned for further revisions, which will begin in a moment.

stage 1 of my revisions today

11:51 AM: it’s a clear cool day, although we may get some clouds and possible precipitation this afternoon. I can see the clouds gathering over the sangres.

I may introduce the second paddler in place of the falling tennis champ int he red shirt on the right, who seems out of place in the composition.

i’ll post updates as they occur….
