stormy weather / continued exhibition prep / by Philip Tarlow

6:58 PM: and, 12 hours later, what’s up? i’m getting bored and tired of all this exhibition prep. but it’s got to be done. today was mostly devoted to putting white vinyl tape around the paint splattered edges of teh motion oils so they would look presentable on the gallery walls. no frames, so those edges are very visible.

i’ve been locating and saving images like this one on the left to a folder titled carbondale talk. this one is a crop of gouache marks i made when i was testing out a new brush given to me by our dear friend lea.

7:45 AM: had to get up at 3am to close windows due to heavy, blowing rain. forecast for next 4-5 days is 80% chances for thunderstorms. we’re in the monsoonal flow; lets hope it gives us much needed moisture…
