1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 5 - day 3 and 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 6 - day 1 / by Philip Tarlow

3:16 PM: this morning I made a slight adjustment to 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 6 - day 3, then started 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 7 - day 1. AND had viber conversations with each of my 2 grandkids in athens.

so the modification I made to 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 6 can be seen in the red area to the left of the skateboarder. yesterday afternoon before leaving for the house I temporarily attached a piece of cut up drawing to see if it works. this morning, I determined that it did, so I collaged it. in so doing, , a corner tore, thus altering the red area slightly at the top, and for the better. you can compare the two in the images BELOW. before is on the left.

…then, I launched in to 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 6. it’s inspired by a photo I shot off the tv screen of ll coolj playing. a set, with a landscape at the bottom inspired by 18th century Japanese master of the brush, taiga.
