work contnues today on "gained vision" / by Philip Tarlow

11:56 AM: in about 45 minutes, my friend david will come pick me up so that we can walk up cottonwood creek. he requested that i join him so that he & another friend, pater, could look through my eyes at the creek in a more “spiritual wholistic way” not sure what i can offer, but i guess we’ll see in 45 minutes!

so i just completed the next stage of gained vision, which as you know, i started work on yesterday. it’s a piece commissioned by mikela, for this wall in our house, adjacent to the kitchen on the upper floor.

gained vision by the way, comes from the title of a 17th c. chinese painting titled the forest of gained vision, or, in chinese, deyanlin gushi.
