About My Blog
- Tina Powers
- As a mother of three beautiful children ages 9,7 & 2, I'm a busy mom, but painting is my time to retreat, refresh and rejuvenate! I plan to make this blog a journal of ideas for paintings, an update on how a painting is coming along and finally, the finished product. Most of the paintings are for sale, so if you see one you can't live without, let me know! Also, please feel free to leave comments, ideas or a friendly howdy!

Not Quite Ready
I struggled with this a little. So much was going on in the background with all the leaves and vines. Finding a focal point was a challenge. I hope I was able to achieve it. The best part is: the tomatoes were so delicious in my omelette!

Summer is Bittersweet but I'm in a "Gardening Mood"!
This Summer has been bittersweet for those of us who live on the Gulf Coast. The oil spill still hasn't been capped and our summer fun has been dampened by this tragedy.
I just returned from Orange Beach to celebrate the 4th of July, and it's hard to realize the Gulf Coast cities have been hit hard because the traffic was just terrible!! People were all along the beach, the pools were crowded and the Wharf was buzzing with locals and tourists! Yes, it's a good thing!
Getting back to the reason for this blog update: I've been gardening to help curb my urge to garden and to give me a painting subject! I had no idea that would happen, but my garden has given me a plethora of painting material along with ingredients for great, healthy meals. Tomatoes, Squash, Basil and Watermelon.... Amazing!
Pumpkins are on their way, so still lifes in September and October are SET!
One more little update: I've decided to put my paintings in the Fairhope Artist's Gallery on Section St. starting the month of August. Great people watch over the little gallery and it's a buzzing place for tourists! Wish me luck!
