7/25/25 watercolor/collage, day 2 / by Philip Tarlow

7/25/25 watercolor/collage, 7.5x11” watercolor, oil pastel and collage on paper, as she looked at the end of my painting day

1:25 PM: after spending the whole morning struggling to set up my new printer, which was sent by epson as a replacement for the one that stopped working and was still under warranty, iproceeded to continue work on 7/25.25 watercolor/collage. little remains of yesterday’s versoin, which is not unusual when i’m making this series of works on paper. cutouts of karaghiozis figures from a printout i made of a spatharis painting continue to play a key role. spatharis and his son were central figures in the evolution of greek shadow theatre, the central figure being karaghiozis himself.
