In the Garden of Taramata

In the Garden of Taramata

monotype with chine collé, 9"x12"

Tara is the name of the Goddess Mother Earth, known from India to Ireland. An ancient festival held annually in Athens was named after her, Taramata (Mother Tara). The festival was nicknamed “the Rioting” because of it’s wild customs. In Buddhist and Hindu traditions she embodies many of the qualities of the feminine principle. She engenders, nourishes, smiles at the vitality of creation, and has sympathy for all beings as a mother does for her children.

Summer Pastime

Hello, I've been away from my blog for quite awhile and I'm sorry I missed you. Life has been full of challenging events and I have been busy with things other than art work. I have had time to browse many other artists' blogs and I'm amazed at their commitment to post so often. Especially those that have of a "painting a day" or "collage a day" to post, I am in awe of all you prolific artists out there.

Here is a sampling of my summer garden. It has been a great pleasure to sit among these beauties.
