about to dive back in / by Philip Tarlow

3 PM: stopping for the day. darkening skies & thunder are making it hard to see the colors. i'll resume in the morning. right now it looks a little strange.

 

 

 

 

12:16 PM: so what does it feel like to have taken a 2 day break from painting. nothing can substitute for it.  here's the painting just now; continuing work as i eat my delicious oatmeal. the image is now based on a 1st c. fayum portrait i found on wikimedia. back to work; more pics soon...

 

 

 

 

11:31 AM: following a several day break, i'm back in my studio preparing to resume work on gaze 26, 32x32". pics as available.the surface  is looking scrumptious right now; lets see where it goes today...
