Recently I worked on a painting inspired by Tamara Laporte’s Life Book 2016 introductory lesson. I spent a week or so thinking about the painting even before I began. Obviously, I followed Tam’s visual style here but the assignment required a bit of thinking to work on the parts that would be unique to each person taking that class.
The painting is only 8×5.5 inches on white card stock- it’s basically a page torn out of my everyday sketchbook. I pulled out my acrylic paints to work on paper after an eternity. I spent some 10 hours on this painting. I painted this with my youngest in mind but the message is one that I could use too.
Sometimes looking at life and hope from another artist’s point of view can be quite interesting. I love how it turned out particularly because there are so many symbols in there that have personal spiritual significance for me. I enjoyed every moment I spent painting it.
Tam is offering many more of her lovely lessons in Life Book 2019, a self-paced online workshop throughout the year along with several other wonderful teachers. Lifebook 2019 will launch on 1/1/19. Registration has already opened.
