starting 12/30/21 oil/collage / '80's painting of NYC architectiural reflections / by Philip Tarlow

12/30/21 oil/collage, phase 1

2:53 PM: just started a new oil/collage, which is 34x38 in. so far, stage 1 is just a colored pencil drawing. stopping for the day & will pick up tomorrow morning.

7:49 AM: in the’80’s, i was a member of fischbach gallery on 59th st. during that period i was living and painting in my appartment on central park west and traveling around the city on my bike, shooting photos of nyc architectural reflections, which was my passion at the time. this is a detail of one of the oil paintings that emerged during that period. in was purchased by a nyc collector. it’s not as sharp as i’d like, but i’ll search for the original photo of this painting & when i find it, i’ll post.

more later when i get to the studio. as for the weather here in crestone/baca, we’re expecting snow new years eve and new years day, with temps falling below zero at night.
