PLANET WILD VIDEO / wobble completed / cobble-day 2 / by Philip Tarlow

cobble, 32x38 oil on linen, as she looked moments ago

11:40 AM: yesterday afternoon i made my final adjustments to wobble, which is now a completed painting.

this morning, i continued work of day 2 of cobble, which has the same dimensions as wobble: 32x38” and incorporates some of the same dancing figures, as well as the plaid shirted walking figure who appears in many recent paintings. i started out with drawings; some in oil pastel or crayon, graduating to oils. then i began adding grey, green and yellow surrounding the figures and the hints of creekscape. everything was then scraped over with a large palette knife, creating unexpected and unplanned swishes of color.

this is a 12 minute youtube video mikela sent me to watch this morning, i highly recommend watching it! https://youtu.be/m_SzuUHXP1M?si=sDA2ObStK-6Q6chS
