morning trail walk. /. 8/2/2021 creek oil 26x62” / by Philip Tarlow

adjusting with my new desktop image, drawn from the collection of trail walk photos I put together today

4:05 PM: I got started on 8/2/2021 creek oil a while ago. I’m excited….I got the idea for this melange of trail walk photos while we were coming back from our walk, and it feels like a new adventure, after a few weeks of a dry spell, when I was thinking it’s all bullshit.

at work on 8/2/2021 creek oil an hour ago

8/2/2021 creek oil 26x62 in. in it’s very early stages

3:30 PM: I put together a melange of the photos I took on the trail this morning. that will become the initial inspiration of 8/2/2021 creek oil. this is it. more once I make a bit of progress on this new painting, which is 26x62 in. on quadruple primed linen stretched over masonite to facilitate potential collaging.

1:11 PM: as I was adjusting the photos I shot on our morning trail walk, I hit the “wrong” button & here’s what I got.

this opens new vistas. I need to hit the wrong” button more often!

starting a new canvas, more when i’m further along this afternoon…
