“acropolis museum visitors on glass floor” continued today / yesterday's untitled gouache/collage framed / by Philip Tarlow

3:03 PM: as frequently happens just before leaving the studio, i made a modification. it was getiing too prodictable, so i grabbed a few pieces of paper amongst the many i have for this purpose, and taped them to a few areas of the compostion. the deep red may be a bit much, but it’s just a temporary experiment to see how i can break up the composition a reduce the descriptiveness.

acropolis museum visitors on glass floor, 44x30” oil on linen, as she looked moments ago

1:54 PM: i’ve been working till now on acropolis museum visitors on glass floor,” 44x30” what was a black and white painting, with a few touches of color yesterday, as exploded into a multi-colored composition with an architectural framework. it’s obvious from the perspective that the very simplified figures have been photographed from above. as yet, there’s little indication that they’re standing on a glass floor, with a view, albeit blurred, of the floor beneath their feet.

11:22 AM: this morning i’ll continue work on the painting i started yesterday, which is 44x30”, oil on linen.

11:17 AM: this morning i framed yesterday’s 2/15/25 untitled gouache/collage, which is available. contact me for details.
