Your artwork is inspirational. I want to get back at it, but the reason I found your sight was due to the Bach. last night (tonight actually). I wondered if you know the green sweatshirt Jillian was wearing, with the string thing in the back — it rocks!! Thanks.

I found this article on NYTimes today http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/fashion/25IRONY.html?_r=1&emc=eta1 and the photo of Italian Vogue’s editor, Anna Piaggi, reminded me of your rendition in the Satoriolist, of the older women with rainbow stole. I’m inspired to try my hand at painting Anna – giving full credit to your original watercolor inspiration!!

yea that’s who the original photo is of – anna piaggi…she’s so fun to paint in all her eccentric glory!

OH. I now that i look at her again, I see that!!! Funny. I don’t follow (Italian) Vogue that much! Maybe I’d seen your photo and that jarred the response. Regardless, I really liked your painting.

Tara, you’ve tried a lot of different projects, anyone style grab you more than the others? I think your ink/watercolor interpretations are going real well.
