6/23/22 handstand gets a juggler / by Philip Tarlow

6:15 PM: i didn’t wait till tomorrow morning to take out that mauve surrounding the juggler. i rubbed it out before leaving the studio for the house and then on to our trail walk. tomorrow morning i’ll lighten that area, probably with a light, warm grey.

2:50 PM: i continued working on the newly introduced figure of the juggler and created a mauve background behind him. i’m not yet sure about that color; it may have to go grey, but i’m going to leave if for now, go back to the house and take a trail walk with mikela. it was raining earlier, but i think we’ll be ok….more rain not expected till this evening. it’s the lightning we want to avoid.

12:08 PM: rain today, but so far not enough to make a difference.

i began introducing the figure of a juggler to the composition this morning. he’ll become clearer ina while, and i’ll re-post the image then.
