starting "celebration 26" 36x36" / by Philip Tarlow

celebration 26, 36x36" as she looked at the end of day one

3:15 PM: i had done some prep work on the sienna ground of this one a few weeks back, and let it sit while i worked on completing celebration 25. this afternoon i launched into it, first making drawings in black litho crayon of assorted figures in my growing menagerie. today i focused on the jumping basketball player, who first appeared in celebration 25, and a female bather, hands in the air, jumping into the sea. we’ll see where she takes me tomorrow, which i’m anxious to learn!
