vyd zverkhou renewed / by Philip Tarlow

vyd zverkhou, 24x28” oil & collage on linen, as she looked at the end of my painting day today

3:43 PM: the white-over i did yesterday was just dry enough for me to go back into it today. i kinda love the starkness of these 3 figures on the white backround, which is transparent enough to give us a little taste of what lies beneath.

these figures are old friends at this point; i’ve included them in quite a few recent paintings. this allows my strokes and marks, informed by that loving familiarity, to be more painterly.
