11/30/2021 creek oil/collage adjustments / by Philip Tarlow

3:30 PM: I did further work on the skateboarder, but it started snowing & it’s pretty dark, so i’m stopping for the day. mikela should be back around 5, and we’ll have dinner.

11/30/2021 creek oil/collage as it looked following my modifications this morning

12:57 PM: at the end of the day yesterday, I felt that the blue area and the printed index on the left of cut up map I collaged onto the upper left were too dominant in the composition. so this morning I worked into it, adding another piece of blue map over the index and extending the legs of the figure doing a handstand up into the blue up on top. it’s easier to understand if you look at the comparative views BELOW, where i’ve posted yesterdays version on the left, next to an image of the painting as it looked following this mornings modifications.
