"swimming" 38x10" / by Philip Tarlow

2:56 PM: today i started a new 38x10” painting on portrait linen, titled swimming. it’s a study of a portion of a pompeian fresco which can be found in the archeological museum of naples. as yet, the sea creatures, all of which were favorite food of the ancient romans, remain without color.
