evaluating recent work & choosing a direction for today / by Philip Tarlow

2:32 PM: PROGRESS: on my home page, you can now click on any of the 6 images on the page & they will take you to the appropriate page. so for example if you click on the image on the top left, a painting of tourlos, it will take you to my overview of greece page. if you click on the one in the middle, the painting inspired by vermeer’s woman reading a letter, it will take you to my gaze series of paintings, of which that is a part. etc.

might not seem like much to you, but it took a fair amount of work to figure it out, and a couple of back and forth with the squarespace support team.

10:52 AM: I arrived at the studio very early: 8:30, so I could be here when the septic crew arrived to locate & empty the studio septic, then install the new toilet. they’re here right now, so it’s difficult to get to work. I completed re-stretching the 2 recent paintings you see: the horizontal 26x62” and the vertical 78x26". the one with 2 panels and the green area is what I worked on yesterday. and the on the floor, with 4 canvases, is one I had worked on a few months back, which I now feel needs more.
