more work on il torrente / by Philip Tarlow

DETAIL of il torrente at the end of my painting day today

5:01 pm: today i continuedd work on il torrente, modifying the whites i added yesterday & continuing to be judicious about using my right arm so as not to aggrevate the tendonitis in my right shoulder.

as you can see, yesterdays whites, in the image on the left, have been scaled back & somewhat muted. i added some new images and modified others, allowing a story to begin to emerge; a story with it’s roots in 12th century china, being told through the brush of a 21st century colorado painter who was born in brooklyn.
