Description
It's SO inspiring being here!
Helle started doing an alphabet series, and Mark got the bug, then Andrea did an A, which made me think, "This is a REALLY cool idea," so I got busy and made one myself. I have no idea how many more I'll get put together, but wow ... this one was WAY fun!!
I went back to the way-back days for the pieces I used for this. If you want to see the originals, they're in my gallery from March 13 and March 26, 2007.
Many thanks to Andrea and Mark, and especially to Helle, for being so inspiring. :)

Love your A. The colors and soft pattern are quite beautiful.
I love the psychedelic ocean waves. And we all know what the scarlet A stands for. Hmm...getting pretty Freudian around here. Anyway, superb work. Inspiration is good.
A beautiful addition to the rendo alphabet font! Lovely swirlies and ?butterflies?stars?pawprints?!!
Marvelous work and ideal!
Amazing work Tara. God bless.
Gorgeous, luscious edible colours and ice cream shapes, and SO painterly! Wonderful, Tara, and isn't it great how different we all are!
I think we will all be at it before long !!!
OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA ! How wonderful to see you jumping on the alfabet wagon :-D This is so beautiful and I love the creamy look in this. OH, I cant wait to see B. I am thrilled. :-DDD
I didn't see this till just now---even though you posted it yesterday---and I was heading out: But when I saw this, I had to comment now. It's sensual, flowing, mysterious and beautiful. The "A" fits in somehow, because of its hue---matching the dark crimsons of your background---and it's jagged, undulating form. As well as its changing hue and texture. And Andrea's right, we all approach it differently! You made a big swirly cavern-filled painting out it, in which "A" is present, maybe stopping by (on the way to having coffee with G), or maybe stopping because he saw you looking at him and wanted to have his picture taken---who knows. But capturing him---or her---to one side (the right), it doesn't steal the show but rather adds another accent to this very rich pastiche. I will check out the pics you spoke of---ie, where this came from---but tomorrow. But this is beautiful, Tara, and it makes me want to do even more alphabet stuff. (Ok, I wrote a tale about DEF, but I have to read it before I make a total ass of myself in front of the world. It's whacked out.) Lush and swirling, and I look forward to the others. (I know you posted one now, but I'll have to wait till I get home to see it.) Wonderful. Really lush.
Oh man, this rocks in so many ways I hardly know what to say. A for effort, A+++, A is for awesome, just so much to look at. I keep going back and every time, there's something different. WOW!!!! And i missed the alphabet part, but hmmmm, guess I'll have to look around and see what I can do!!
Absolutely Awesome Alphabet!
This looks like it's going to be a fun project - for you to create, and for the rest of us to follow! It's easy to see how much fun you had with this one, Tara! I'm looking forward to the next 25 or so... :-D
You did it so wonderful with all those faded colors, I have to look at this for long, thinking how you did this, Tara. But maybe I have to look at your anno 2007 images. I think one can become addicted to it, so cute! Bravo, my friend.
I'm catching up, and i have to say starting back at the beginning of the alphabet is quite inspiring: I love the way this whole thing makes me think of mother of pearl--different colors, but the swirlies and the nebulous shapes are outstanding. The crisp, children's-primer "A" has a nice calligraphic feel to it and the whole thing is put together wonderfully! AND it's layered. YAY! This is great. I love it.
Tara, this looks neat, and I like it, but I really have NO idea what is involved in making these. So if I repeat myself looking at your creations and making comments, don't be surprised. I am just surprised that you have gone away from posting photos. But I guess you wanted a new challenge, huh?
