starting a new painting today=DOOBIE DOOBIE / by Philip Tarlow

doobie doobie, 32x32”, oil on portrait linen

2:07 PM:i better b qwik, because in just 21 minutes we’ll be taking our creek walk. so the new painting, which is being painted over one that i started, is titled doobie doobie. whereas the one i’m painting over was inspired by an old photo of an interior, this one is inspired by a newer photo of the creek. we’ll see where i take it tomorrow, but right now i kinda like the stark simplicity uv-it.

the two: mosaic 1 and doobie doobie are sitting side by side on my painting wall, and they seem to be getting along quite well!

12:41 PM: i consider mosaic 1 resolved, so i’m starting something new today.

here’s a little reminder that my exhibition at CMC Aspen Gallery and lobby, 0255 Sage Way, Aspen Business Center, Aspen is hung and will be up through december 22.

right now i’m in the process of choosing a surface for my next painting. i’ll update you when i’ve chosen and tacked it top my east painting wall.
