Piece description from the artist
Song Walking is a 40 × 60 diptych, each of the two pieces 30 × 40. It is a mixed media piece primarily a watercolor with acrylic and marker added. It is UV-protected and varnished. The painting is a large watercolor with a blue background. The foreground is dominated by a stark white birch tree, with its branches reaching up toward the sky. The tree is dotted with red cardinals, which add a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The painting is a beautiful and serene depiction of nature, and it is sure to bring a touch of joy to any home.
With a B.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University and a M.F.A. from Cornell University, Tamara mainly produces Color Field and Abstract Expressionist works. But when Tamara's son left for college and the house became quiet, she began experimenting with watercolors. She was surprised to find that she absolutely loved it. Watercolors are a huge change for Tamara, as she had never painted anything close to realism before, but she is enjoying this new dimension.
Tamara and her family live in Massachusetts, a short drive away from Lake Winnipesaukee, the White Mountains, the cape, and Maine. However, her standalone favorite place to paint is the American west. She loves to paint from photos she's taken at the National Parks she's visited. Her favorite part about painting realist works is seeing people's face light up when they recognize the locations in her paintings.
The next new adventure for Tamara will be returning to abstract work, but this time around experimenting with small scale and encaustic works.
