Finding a place of peace...
Melencholy WIP
"Melencholy" 40x72 Work-In-Progress
Drawing, and now painting, has always been a place of peace for me.
Ever since I was really tiny, I have had art materials and have used
them to sooth myself and insulate myself from the world around me.
Today is no different. This is my current work-in-progress and she is a
huge undertaking. Literally huge, she is 72 inches wide. I've had
moments of panic thinking, "What have I got myself into?" Nevertheless,
I'm in love. She is providing a place of peace for me and I will see
her through and hopefully send her into the world at her best.
I have to say thank you to all of you, because it is thinking of you
that has kept me sane through this turbulent year. So many of you have
connected with me in zoom meet-ups, my new online workshops and
mentorship groups or called for long chats. Some have even come to pop
into the studio or stayed for dinners - on the patio of course, so that
social distancing can be maintained. These moments have warmed my heart
and with each little note of hello, I am reminded of all the goodness
in the world and of how blessed I am to be one of the artists you
encourage and support.
Since my last note to you, my painting "Cicerone" took First Place in
the Women Artists Of The West 50th Annual Exhibition. I am so proud to
be apart of this long-standing arts organization highlighting women
artists.
My painting "Mid-Summer Night's Dream" won an Award of Excellence in
the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society Online Showcase. She
found her home last year and her new mom is so proud. Finally, my
painting "Hell's Bell" was made a finalist in the American Women
Artists Making Their Mark Exhibition at the Booth Museum of Western Art.
For those interested in collecting something small, I have a handful of
tiny eye studies available. They are a variety of sizes around 4x4-ish
and come framed and ready to display with shipping included. Click here

As for the future, so much of it is up in the air. My workshop in
Australia was canceled and many others have moved to 2021. However, I'm
working away and always hopeful that a new day with family, friends and
art is just around the corner.
Warmest to all,
Tina
