continued work on "japanese creek" and "july 7 creek" / by Philip Tarlow

2:37 PM: lots of interruptions today, but i was able to get some work done on these two paintings, which i feel pretty good about. i’ve got to run now, so i’ll say more later this afternoon.

ok, i’m back. so i consider my two latest paintings breakthroughs. why?

all the previous creek inspired paintings i made were, to one degree or another, simplified, abstracted. these two go further, incorporating other, japanese inspired directions, resulting in a new personal language
