ELLAS 64X30” / "SEATED WOMAN" / by Philip Tarlow

4PM: this afternoon i started a new painting in oil on portrait linen. i began work on the lower portion of the composition, and will continue tomorrow, moving up the canvas, when it will become clearer what the natur eof this painting is and why it’s titled Ellas.

11:41 AM: this watercolor collage was created a month ago. today i was inspired to crop it, using a cardboard passepartout that was floating around my studio. i’ll leave it sitting in this little frame for a few days and then make my decision as to whether or not to separate it from the larger 16x15” composition.
