celebration Xlll continued / by Philip Tarlow

celebration XIII as it looked at the end of my painting day today

3:47 pm: i continued work today on celebration XIII, which is unrecognizable from yesterdays version. i went into the pinks, making some richer than others, added some bubble wrap textures, also in pink, and the green palms inspired by shots of mikela i took from above a while back. the lower half of the composition has a black charcoal drawing of a bar scene, inspired by a b&w photo i have in my collection. i’m stopping here for the day.
