About Me

My photo
My Name is Tricia...Who am I as an artist...hard to say...my creativity comes from many sources...life, love, friends, meditations, conversations, the way the light touches something, dreams. All I know is that when I am writing, taking photographs or painting...I am totally and completely in that moment and all I want to do in that moment is create. Things happen in stages for me whether it's a quick or a slow process depends on me...truthfully...for me this blog: I Paint in Stages (I PIS) is a reflection of my life at any given moment in time along my path...If you are curious about a painting and want to know more...just ask:)

New Painting - Stage 6: Painting completed



01/08/2011: Stage 6: - Finally feel like this one has reached completion. Leading with an open heart into the new year. The feel of the painting in person has such an open feeling to it and the energy and colors of the heart chakra just add to it. There's alot of mind, body, spirit connections going on in this piece...at least for me. Happy to have this one done;)




01/02/2011: Stage 5: - Discussed this one with a friend today...wasn't sure if I was finished or if the energy was now shifting to a different place...I'd say it's shifting...I think this one will be very different from where it started. Also ready to start a few new ones...need to borrow that truck for the giant canvas now;)




11/08/2010: Stage 4 - Starting to take shape and capture the vision I have for this one...love the feel of this one...



11/07/2010: Stage 3 - Deconstruction phase...it may not look like I know where I am going with this one but oh the vision is bright and beautiful...there are many layers to this one...




11/06/2010: It's been awhile since I felt like painting but I guess I just needed time and space to find my way back to the center of this particular piece...It's definitely a new look and feel then the series of paintings from this past year...looks like the music in the background continues to be jazz guitar...It'll feel good to continue with this one...has alot of meaning for me on a very personal level.




10/14/2010: I am starting a new series of paintings based on a powerful meditation I had...will be interesting to see what develops:) I listen to different music while I paint...Gipsy Kings, Bolero Gypsies, Armik, Estaban, Tribal, Reiki, Mana, Santana...really depends on my mood...I started listening to Anthony Mazzella most recently and his music is the right feel for this current process...
