1:04 PM: when i came in this morning, it seemed to me that nothing more needed to be done to 4/11/21 watercolor/collage. so i’m moving on to a new one, and will post once i have something to show.
here’s what it looks like. there are 2 areas where collage was used: on leaves of the cactus plant, which are: cut out pieces from maps, old oil palettes & an illustration from an article on ancient minoan art. and in the figure at the bottom, beneath her hair is a small piece cut out from an unsuccessful watercolor i made last year, and kept so that i could use the more interesting bits.

yesterday afternoon we walked up the trail adjacent to cottonwood creek. the creek is increasigly loud, infused more each day with the spring snow melt. i’ve always been a lover of rocks, which you can read about on my story page: https://www.philiptarlow.com/chatty-bio
our unique crestone conglomerate rocks are amazing, and can be found only a few other places in the world, tibet being one of those places.
the oldest were formed 1.8 billion years ago. you can read about them in this edition of our local paper, the crestone eagle: https://crestoneeagle.com/rock-of-ages-the-crestone-conglomerate/
