"studio playday" whited over / by Philip Tarlow

9:41 AM: when i entered my studio this morning, i took a look at the work i did yesterday on studio playday, and i wasn’t happy with what i saw. so i decided to take it outside for 2 reasons: a) when i rub out what i did on a painting with solvent and i’m standing over the painting, it’s hard on my sinuses and b) it’s a gorgeous day!

i left one little rectangle un-whited, and we’ll see what role that will play in what i do next. i’m going to leave it outside all day, where it will dry faster, and in the mean time start something new. a little before noon we have to leave for a meeting in town, so my painting day will be broken up, which often turns out to be a good thing!
