Piece description from the artist
The Woods in New Hampshire calls to me as we hike in the evening through the dark forest. The Cold enveloping my back the cold frost vapors rise in the moon light. The wind freezing my brow and the row of birches comes into view against the moon light. The light shines on the white paper bark and the shadows fall sharply into the row of birches and the fallen snow. The blue teal light glistens against the snow and the paper bark. The snow and the quietness of the night call to me This original painting comes doubled matted and framed in a beautiful Black frame. The outside measures 15 × 19.
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.
