changes to "jazz 15" / by Philip Tarlow

2:03 PM: the lower left portion of jazz 15 was bothering us both. so, after gazing at it on my studio wall for a couple of months, i greyed over that area of the composition and, just moments ago, sketched in a bird; the same one who first appeared in u.s. open 2. it will likely be overcast tomorrow, so i won’t have great light, but nonetheless i plan on giving the bird his features: beak, feathers, claws and those wonderful spotted patterns he/she sports! here’s the painting as it looked before i greyed over it, and moments ago.
