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:)

The Creative Process at Work

Stage 3: My Dancing Painting Finished



Interesting process...the art of dancing...give and take...freedom...movement...personal space...leading and following...rhythm...expression....without words it speaks volumes...can dance around something or take it on directly...mind, body, spirit...connection through the movement that increasing when one allows their natural rhythm to emerge and stay...

I wish you could see this painting in person...the colors are distorted with the light blue and there is actually more pink and green in it then the photo shows...but you get the idea...I love this painting...first painting started and completed in the new place...I'd say the casita has good artisitic vibes:)

Stage 2: My Dancing Painting Continues...





Contemplating the dance...there are so many dances with ourselves and when we meet another...there is the physical dance...the rhythm and pulse...then the dance of the heart...that's the next stage...the inner realm of the dance...what it means to dance that dance...it's the place where many get lost...say they can't do it...or just get off the dance floor...I'm that person that wants to see where the dance goes...the physical beat into the feeling realm...moving in rhythm with that physical...the true dance...back and forth...exchange...deeper...enhancing the physical...I like the dance floor...

Stay tuned for stage 3...

Stage 1: My Dancing Painting...







The movement in this painting comes to me in color when I listen to my favorite caribbean and spanish music so I decided to paint it out today...I am sure it will morph into something else as always but it was so much fun to free style paint and get paint EVERYWHERE!!!

Stage 5: Painting Completed




I thought I would have completed this one before moving out of the old place but instead I finished outside on the porch of my casita. The pictures don't capture the movement of this one...another 3' by 4' one...I hope someone starts buying these soon...I am running out of storage space:-) looking forward to finally starting a new painting now that this one has completed itself.
