stormy weather

Work in progress, acrylics on canvas by Trish Taylor.

Sunday morning, on the mat. I have the pleasure to teach 3 classes on Sunday, from 9am until 1pm at Ben Hicks Yoga. It's vinyasa flow, restorative and yoga nidra, 3 very different classes and I love it.

Bigger

Finally starting soon to work on bigger surface! 4 x 5 ft masonite board has to be prepared first with 4 to 5 layers of gesso.

painters in the night

Details, work in progress. Layers of blue...I love the process of starting a new painting. The excitement of the unknown, following the flow.

Another late night sessions... I prefer the night for inspiration and painting.

Reflections

"Reflections Of The Moon", 2 x 4ft, acrylics on canvas by Trish Taylor.
Now on exhibition and available for purchase at the RU Art Gallery, Lake Havasu City AZ.
I had a lot of fun working on this piece and it was difficult to decide when to stop the process of layering.
Cannot wait to work on bigger canvases! More artwork coming soon!

studio!

Last layers of varnish drying in the studio.

another winter in the desert

Thursday morning, outside the RU Art Gallery, Lake Havasu City AZ. It rained finally the day before, the air was fresh and moist. What a wonderful winter day in the desert!

mysterious blues

Untitled, 2ft x 4ft, acrylics on canvas by Trish Taylor.
Finally got to finish this one after being sick again for past days. The flu is everywhere and you can get it twice in 2 weeks.
Love the deep mysterious blue and added some copper too.

Thank you dear!

new work in progress...

Sometimes a painting just doesn't work. It won't flow... so I repaint the whole thing. Someone told me to not get too attached to my art. If you destroy it, it's okay. Practicing detachment at overcoming fear of destroying something nice. Process of painting is a wonderful teacher.

New Year, hello 2018!

Photo collage by Benita Allen. Pictures by Benita and myself.
What a fun night! We had no plans and were still recovering from the flu and spontaneously we decided to meet my husband's cousin and his wife at the old Genoa Bar. We stayed passed midnight, listening to live music and having drinks outside near the firepit. The bar was so full and packed, it took us almost half an hour to get a drink but the atmosphere was awesome. We had a smooth slide into 2018 and I wish everyone a great and blessed 2018!
Cheers!
