preparing for aspen / a morning trail drawing / by Philip Tarlow

4:46 PM: following our morning trail walk, which was spectacular, & my morning trail drawing, i got to work sorting through my gaze series paintings to make my selection of the ones that will be shown in aspen. here’s one of them: Gaze 12 38x38”, mixed media on canvas.

we’ve been stopping our walks further up the trail: 45 minutes rather than 30, which means we’re stopping at a spot where there’s no easy creek access. so instead of making creek drawings, i’m making rock drawings, like the one you see BELOW right. the vegetation is lush, as you can see below left, ND THE Lndscape is filled with beautiful fallen tree trunks in various stages of disintegration.
