2020 self portraits discovered / dinner on the deck yesterday evening / starting a new watercolor / by Philip Tarlow

3:22 PM: and here’s stage 3. seem a bit scattered? in person, it hangs together more than on the screen. a delicate fellow. i think i may stop here; i’m kind of running out of juice & i’d like to sit with this overnight & see what happens sunday morning.

2:57 PM: this is stage 2.

2:07 PM: this is the first stage of today’s watercolor/collage. spare, wouldn’t you say?keep it this way & start a new one?

stay tuned!

5/15/21 watercolor/collage at 2 pm

12:55 PM: about to start 5/15/21 watercolor/collage which i suppose could be considered a birthday watercolor. on the other hand, mikela and i both declared birthdays ridiculous and vowed to stop acknowledging or celebrating them. most indigenous tribal members have no idea when they were born, and have a very different concept of what we know as time.

i’ll post pics, as usual, once i get to stage 1 of the new painting.

11:38 AM: at the request of a greek friend who is compiling artists portraits i discovered a couple of small self portraits from 2020.

our deck dinner yesterday was delightful!
