starting "chora neoclassical III" / by Philip Tarlow

2:15 when i entered the studio and cast my all important first gaze at chora neoclassical II, it seemed resolved.

so i stopped working on that one and started chora neoclassical III, 44x19 cm. it’s drawn from one of the photocollages i made in 1995, following a visit to greece with mikela. the neoclassical buildings abound in chora; one more beautiful than the next most with flowering bougainvillea.

BELOW: 3 stages of chora neoclassical III today
