1:11 PM: this painting was made in 2001, a period when i was very active in my plein air paintings, which inspired this and other large studio oil paintings. it’s been leaning against the north wall of our living room, resting in a very substantial wood frame. it was too heavy to hang without assistance, so we just kept in sitting in that frame. a few days ago, as we were hanging some of the new 2021 creek oils (https://www.philiptarlow.com/2021-creek-oils) we both looked at it and felt that it was time to put something new in that cool wood frame.
so today i’m about to un-stretch this one so that i can use the stretcher bars, stretch a new double primed linen canvas and begin a new painting.
if you are reading this and are interested in acquiring this painting, let me know & we can discuss pricing.
