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 1-3: Observing Nature



02/09/11 - Stage 3: Painting is taking on a life of its own. Using everything but a brush to paint this one...not quite sure what I'm trying to say with this one yet but I am enjoying the unusual process...feels like the last painting I will complete in this old apartment...



01/21/11 - Stage 2: Felt like painting this evening so I added to the bottom part of the painting. I have a full image of this painting and I know what I am trying to get across but don't quite feel like I have words for it yet but it's a new feeling arising from a transformative moment.



01/17/11 - Stage 1: Working on a new painting that was inspired by several sunsets I saw over the long weekend and some of the mountain images that crossed by path while driving this week. I have a strong image in my mind on this one but we'll see what develops...just feels good to paint today:)
