jazz 17: continued work / by Philip Tarlow

2:26 PM: after whiting over what i did yesterday, i worked into it & made a charcoal drawing of a skateboarder. then i blotted away the white in the areas of the arms & legs, revealing the flesh-like tones beneath. i went to pick it up to hang on the wall & photograph, and in the process knocked over the feta container where i have my favorite brushes sitting in turpentin substitue.

chaos ensued, and when i hung it on the wall to photograph, the very wet white oil paint immediately began dripping down the canvas. disaster!

so i immediately removed the dripping composition from the wall, lay it flat on the cement floor, got up on a step ladder & photographed it from above, which is why you see some light reflected from the skylight & windows in the photo.

now we’re off to the energy fair.
