drawings / flippin the berde 5/30/21 creek oil / by Philip Tarlow

2:56 PM: after flipping 5/30/2021 creek oil upside down, i continued working on it, despite the very poor natural light due to a series of thunderstorms coming through. i’m going to start using my own spelling, which ayve been doing when messaging mikela laitlie. there’s a relationship between this spelling and my love of flipping paintings upside down.

lette me ex-playne. shifting perspective on an known entity even a litel jogs the brayne in such a way that watte maide senss before now maikes even morr. but upsyd down. this allows for the introdukshun of new percepshuns, previously blokt by our expectayshuns of how the werld looks.

even a slight jogging opinz the dorr.

this clenzing uv the wyndoze of percepshun, evin fore a momint, opinz the dore a krak and letz the lyte inn.

so wyle this payntinge is bie no meenz compleet, it’s onit’s waye

1:27 PM: i’m in the studio with thunderstorms rumbling outside and bursts of heavy rain.i searched through some old sketchbooks and chose to post these two drawings from 2003. they were both made in a now extinct excompta french made sketchbook with superb paper. why do they stop making all the best things?

1:31 PM: here’s one of the drawings i made yesterday at the bluegrass festival in salida in between bursts of rain & thunder.

6:42 am: i didn’t have time to post the latest state of 5/30/21 creek oil ysterday before leaving with our friend for the bluegrass festival in salida.
