"Tara, Amongst the Petunias"
This piece was done specifically with the theme
of plants and people in mind for a traveling show entitled "People,
Plants and Cultures". The emotion and radiance within Tara's face
works well with the richness of color in the blossoming petunias in
the
background. Tara is a fourth grade student of mine. She is a beautiful
young lady and has a very dark complexion. I wanted that type of contrast
in the piece. Having taught Tara for the past two years, I'd also like
to think that her personality comes through in the work itself. |
