rework of "feeling worldly" / by Philip Tarlow

2:02 PM: i’ve been gazing on and off at feeling worldly on my studio wall since i completed it, on february 19. it wasn’t working for me and, as mikela commented a few days ago, it had no center and your eye kept wandering aimlessly.

so i decided today, after whiting over yesterday’s mamiko and erasing it from my blog post, to go back into it. so here’s where it’s at at 2:08pm, with ever darkening skies and high winds.
