day 2 of "windy creek" / by Philip Tarlow

windy creek, 38x35” as it looked at the end of my painting day today

2:29 PM: it’s a cold, winy cloudy day, with temperatures hovering in the upper teens.

i took the canvas off the wall and worked a bit with it flat on my work table, where i applied a few collaged pieces. it’s very much in the vein of the previous 21x17” paintings i’ve made over the past few weeks, but on a larger scale: 38x35”

the canvas has been flipped 90° from where it was yesterday; what is now the lower portion of the composition was located on the right yesterday. this was based on my gut, not some planned or calculated decision.

at work on windy creek at 1:30 pm today
