starting "gained vision II" 80x20"/203x51 cm. / by Philip Tarlow

2:56 PM: i wasn’t sure whether or not gained vision was resolved or not, so i cut a new piece of the portrait linen & started gained vision II. at this early stage, they have some of the same compositional elments. i do feel that i learned a lot from gained vision so i’m taking it a bit slower and alllowing it to transport me to new places.

i won’t be in the studio again till tuesday of next week, giving it a chance to ripen while i’m away. whereas yesterday’s painting was specifically sized for the wall in our house where it will hang, this one is taller, and has roughly the same dimensions as the paintings in my sound of a flute series, which you can view on this page of the site: https://www.philiptarlow.com/sound-of-a-flute
