morning drawing / cutting canvas for new paintings / strating “good doc LL” / by Philip Tarlow

4:13 PM: a few hours ago i started work on a new painting: good doc II. i’m using one of the two pieces of primed linen i cut this morning (see photo below.) the dimensions are 35x37”/89x94cm.

it’s inspired by the tv show the good doctor. the two main characters, shaun and lea are viewed from above. lea is pregnant.

if i can get to work early tomorrow, i’ll take it much further.

1:36 PM: this afternoon i’m preparing 2 pieces of primed linen canvas for new paintings i’m about to start.

i tacked periscope to my south studio wall & temporarily surrounded it with strips of brown paper.

10:08 AM: a little while ago i had my morning coffee followed by matcha tea, with toast & feta. i made a little drawing of what i was eating & drinking, which you see here.

here’s the detailed description i posted on FB:

yemeni coffee with breville frothed soy milk& toasted local sourdough sandwich bread with greek feta topped with bariani extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with italian seasoning & organic garlic salt
