studies for a companion painting / by Philip Tarlow

one full size (48x18” oil) and two small studies in gouache/oil pastel/collage on paper for the denver collector

6 PM: over the last few days, i’ve been working on creating a companion piece for a denver collector who purchased one of my 2014 paintings last week. this collector would like one more painting the same size as the one she purchased: 48x18”

i kind of did this backwards (not unusual for me) and first made a full size painting, which i felt good about. then i began deeling i could do something a bit closer in composition and color to the one she purchased.
