celebration VII, day 2 / self portrait / by Philip Tarlow

celebration VII, oil on linen, 16x20” as it looked moments ago

12:38 PM: i worked very gingerly this morning on celebration VII, which i started yesterday. i may do a bit more today, or wait till i’m fresh in the morning. what i added today, on the left, is drawn from a photo i shot at least a decade ago, of baskets of fruit outside a house we were living in at the time, i believe in california.

10 small canvases i’ve been working on over the past month

12:33 PM: i was rummaging through some old photos in my upstairs studio storage space and came across this photo of a self portrait. i don’t have a date or know it’s whereabouts, although it’s probably somewhere in the studio. my best guess is 2014, but it may well be earlier.
