matisse study re-visited / by Philip Tarlow

matisse study, 16x20” as it looked following this morning’s changes

3:10 PM: matisse study is so titled because that’s what is was originally. this past august 3 i whited over it and left the lone figure on the whited over ground. since then, it’s been hanging in the bedroom. i felt yesterday that it needed something more, so i brought it over to the studio and did some work on it this morning.
