What kind of pigments did they use? (I, being a tactile person, so wanted to touch and feel... but I didn't. I was good.)

I love cosmoses, especially when they are left on their own.
Painted this back in 2021. This was one of very first pieces I sold. -

It's a lot of work that I don't usually enjoy, but when I'm not selling well at the gallery, these sometimes pay the "rent." I'm also donating some to the small community museum that's hosting my show next week.

I was in the gallery today hanging my wall.I was in the gallery today hanging my wall. Because of two outside exhibits back-to-back, my wall is a bit underwhelming and I felt guilty. This was the largest and also my favorite among what I had, until this afternoon. Apparently a young man came in and bought it, so I'm going to have to find something else for the empty spot. This must be my last sales of 2025!

This was meant to be experimental -- I tried gold acrylic for underpainting.This was meant to be experimental -- I tried gold acrylic for underpainting. I didn't think it worked, but every time I walk by the easel, it catches my eyes; there's a very soft glow in it. I'm pretty sure it's hard to tell from the photo, but I now consider this to be a good experiment.
"Grimes Point"

People ask me sometimes; how do you find beauty in this arid, rough nothingness?

My exhibition at Sierra Arts Foundation Gallery came down today.My exhibition at Sierra Arts Foundation Gallery came down today. I'm high with the sense of accomplishment. A fellow artist who was showing in the annex gallery wanted to buy a painting from me (what a compliment!), so I had to ask her to wait for a few months... as these are all going to the next show in Fallon, NV next week. She is fine to wait.
It was a whirlwind year, artistically and personally, but we all survived. Thankful.

"Thoughts 3"
mixed media on printmaking paper - 14x12 inhttps://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/tamami-tokutake/thoughts-3/1107394
This is a rework of my mixed media piece "Thoughts 3" I originally created in 2022. Added more lights, and framed in lighter colored frame to avoid looking too dark. I think it worked.
Oil, pan pastel, and pastel are used.

"Winter's Remains"
pastel on UART paper - 16x12 inhttps://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/tamami-tokutake/winters-remains/1117306
Painted in 2024. Driving on I-80 into Utah mid March for husband's first cancer treatment; some snow still left on the ground, and the far mountains are covered with snow. Cold, cold wind, my eyes water, but I'm trying to find a bright spot in this landscape.

The autumn version of the painting I posted yesterday. This set of two paintings (not sure if I call it a diptych) was almost bought by someone I didn't like so I had to buy it back from the gallery. I know, I'm immature and foolish.

Trying out linocut for the first time since my childhood. Turns out that I don't have the right kind of ink for printing, and that means I go back to the art supply store tomorrow!

"Someday Trail"
pastel on UART paper - 18x12 inhttps://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/tamami-tokutake/someday-trail/1095407
This is from 2023. A scene in Wendover, UT, on my first solo roadtrip to Santa Fe, NM.
Wanted to take a hike, but I needed to continue on the road. So I named it "Someday Trail," hoping that I'd come back someday and walk up the trail. -

"Survivor"

This was a pine tree that survived a wildfire near the state border. This went to a woman whose husband recently went through an accident and subsequent rehabilitation at the same hospital where my husband received his cancer treatment.

This is a tiny gouache study I did back in February. Gosh, it feels like a long time ago. It was a part of an online class I took from a renowned UK artist, Richard K. Blades. There was no reference photos. Only imaginations.
