love, love, love, them all, glad you posted them, I hope you don’t mind I added a link from my blog to your blog, (maybe twice because I couldn’t figure out how to do it), if you want me to take it off or make it private, let me know – I’m proud of you:)
Impressive. love the one of the woman on the bike and the one of the colorful old lady!
so lovely, Tara. I really like your watercolor. Your cartoon like ones are cute! Keep posting more!
Thanks Sarah! I need to paint some more so that I actually have something to put up!
I love your bicycle girl!! and austin at the beach…very impressive ms. sharp.
the coworker show is hilarious!
; – )
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.
thank you so much
all the hoodies were TNA i just put up a post http://sharpinsandiego.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/jillian-loves-her-hoodies/
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.
