unexpected covid vaccination / stupa walk / by Philip Tarlow

6:16 PM: we took our walk up the stupa trail at 3:30. BELOW are a few pics.

3:02 PM: i received a call this morning that we’ve been scheduled for our Covis vaccine shots in center, a 50 minute drive from crestone. we drove to center and have now received our first vaccinations.

so i wasn’t able to go to my studio, which is very rare, and i’ll resume work on 2021 creek oil 1 tomorrow morning. until then, i leave you with this image. can i translate mengfu’s energy into my new painitng successfully? the challenge is in the word translate. BELOW is the painting in it’s current state. it’s new horizontal composition is still being established.
