Travelin'

I noticed that lately, my paintings have the urge to travel! Four new paintings with three different modes of transportation!








New paintings are available over on etsy

Pinterest

Hey everyone!
Have you heard of PINTEREST yet?

Welllll, if you haven't you should check it out! I am just LOVIN' it! It is a website where you add pictures to your page in different sections. For example, I have a section of food that I like. When I see something on the web that is a nice photo of food and is followed with a great recipe, I "pin" it to my page. Then everyone can see it and if they like it too, they can pin it to their page. Think of Beonce's song "If you like it you should have put a ring on it", but change "ring" to "pin", haha, I saw a poster with that on it on etsy. So funny!

It is great for people who are redoing their decor and are thinking of different color combos, it's great for wedding planning, wardrobe ideas, hair and make up, the list goes on. So if you are interested in following me and seeing what turns my crank,:), here is the link to my page " Tascha Pinterest ". To join you have to either get an invite, or you can ask pinterest to let you join. I think you need a twitter or facebook account. Happy pinning!

Getting real

Every once in a while I try painting "real". Painting in a realistic way that represents something as it appears. I find it fun, like doing a puzzle. I think I do prefer my usual folksy, fun, wacky, imaginary style. See, when I paint that way, there is no right or wrong. I get very caught up in what isn't right about my realistic paintings. I do like the pigs that I painted recently.



I like the soft pastel colors in that one, and the expression in his eyes. Once I do paint an animal in a realistic way, I learn more about what they look like for when I stylize them in a folk style.



I painted this self portrait today. It was challenging, that's for sure! Just thought I'd show you something different I've been working on. It's always good to try something different every once in a while to keep your imagination sharp :) xoxo
