light snow last night / resuming work in the studio / by Philip Tarlow

1:13 PM: my jet lag today is a lot worse than yesterday, plus i can’t seem to warm up. the temperature outside is 25F and the wind is gusting to 30mph, with a wind chill of 12F.

i tried getting to work, but all i could do was to make a small self portrait in colored pencil & pastel. maybe tomorrow will be better.

self portrait in colored pencil & pastel, 25x17 cm.

6:51 AM: it’s currently snowing lightly, and we received about 1/4” last night. every litttle bit counts in continuing our emergence from drought conditions here in crestone/baca!

i’ll be headed to my studio in an hour or two and will resume painting after 2+ weeks in greece. updates as they occur…
