revisiting a 2012 (?) motion painting, 16x78” / starting “sea kinesis LLL” / by Philip Tarlow

sea kinesis III as it looked at the end of my painting day today

4:03 PM: this afternoon i did something i’ve never done before: i took part in a zoom meeting of our local firewise committee while working on this new painting: sea kinesis III. more about this later this afternoon; right now i have to get back to the house to make rice, as part of the prep for our dinner tonight.

sea kinesis I, II & III

2012 motion, 16x18” oil & collaged paper on canvas

9:44 AM: i’ll have to do a little research on this on, but my guess is that it was painted in about 2012 and is one of a series of abstractions i did during that period, riffing off the plein air creek paintings i was making at the time. i just hung it yesterday on the NE wall of our house, opposite the couches, where it works beautifully! i would rate this one a 10 in this genre.
