ano kato 50, into the blue / this morning’s trail drawing / by Philip Tarlow

ano kato 50 at 2:30pm, after extending the blue & beginning to define their white skiffs

2:46 PM: i extended the blue quite a bit, and created the beginnings of the white skiffs they’re paddling. i kind of like the balance right now between the yellows, the blues, the flesh tones & the yellow paddle. as always, it’s tempting to let it be, just as is. right now, i feel finished for the day. let’s see how it strikes me when i enter the studio tomorrow morning.

ano kato 50 at noon, with the beginnings of the introduction of blue

11:57 AM: this morning , after gazing at ano kato 50 while having my breakfast, i felt the need to get rid of some of the yellow surrounding the 2 paddlers. since they’re in the river, even though the actual color of the river water is more like a browish color, i decided to go for the blue. thus far, at this early stage, i’m likeing what it’s doing to the adjacent flesh tones. i’ll keep going & see where it takes me.

we took our trail walk this morning & i made this little drawing, which i continued working on when we got back to the house.
