fridge/freezer clean-up day / by Philip Tarlow

my studio fridge following cleanup & reorg

3:44 PM: i was still kind of tired this morning after our marathon crestone-denver-crestone round trip yesterday. so i decided it would be a good day to bite the bullet and finally clean out my studio fridge & freezer, which was way overdue. i took everything out, placed it on a makeshift table, went through it and tossed over 3/4 of it. some of it may have still been ok, but you don’t want to take chances with food that’s been hanging around for a year or more.

that created room for the fruit we got at costco yesterday, as well as the smoked slamon i love eating for breakfast. it always feels good to get rid of accumulated stuff you no longer need but have been avoidiung taking action on. we’ll see tomorrow what, if any, effect this has on my painting.

we made a brief stop at space gallery on the way home, where we took 9 small framed works & 2 oils that were in the gallery & took them home. some will be included in my aspen show and i’ll re-purpose some of the white wood frames for recent gouache/watercolor/collages. i’ll post some pics tomorrow; i’m too tired right now.

we both had physical therapy appointments in denver, and i got a bunch of new exercises for my right shoulder. i’m going to break them up into 3-4 a day, otherwise they become overwhelming. there are videos accompanying each exercise, making it less likely you’ll do them incorrectly.
