genialis, day 3 / by Philip Tarlow

genialis, 32x36” oil on portrait linen as she looked at the end of my painting day today

2:57 PM: i took genialis to the next level today, focusing on the left portion of the compositin and not working at all to the right of the yellow diagonal. it has a ways to go, but i do feel it works better compositionally. i’m wary however of it becoming too crowded, and tomorrow i may do something about that yellow diagonal, which now seems to divide the composiiton….i might collage over the two new figures on the upper left…we’ll see.
