a wild stormy night / new ano kato 8 / by Philip Tarlow

new ano kato 8 19 3/4 x15 1/2” watercolor, crayon & collage on paper

3:23 PM: i was awoken at 1:30 this morning by the howling of the wind and the heavy hitting our south facing bedroom windows. as a kid, mikela actually slept through a hurricane that drove a large piece of wood through her bedroom window, so this storm did not wake her. it definitely sounded like full on gale force winds, and i went upstairs to make sure everything was ok up there, which it was.

so i wasn’t in the best of shape when i got to the studio. i worked on this new ano kato 8 all day, and right now i’m so tired i don’t really know what to make of it. so, as usual, i’ll bring it back to the house & gaze at it with mikela.

our sense of relief at the electoin results is somewhat tempered by our fear of what t might do during the next 76 days, until the new president & vp are sworn in. i’m too bleary eyed to write more, so i’ll sign off for now.
