This painting by
Tracy Rocca had me at hello. Earlier today I came across Tracy's art on
Artist A Day, and I had to see more. I clicked over to
her website and soon became lost in a world of celestial images.
At first glance, the blurred images look like they were taken by a camera.
Moonstone Beach, for example, reminds me of this photograph shot by Portland photographer
Anthony Georgis.

When I discovered that Tracy's works were not photographs but paintings, I became that much more intrigued with her creative process. In her statement she writes,
the use of instantaneous digital tools in my everyday life makes me want to find a slower, gradual, more contemplative painting process that reasserts the value of the human hand. I work every morning in natural light using traditional painting materials, walnut oils and mongoose brushes, to apply thin glazes of color that I blend and blur into soft transitions.
Even the way Tracy paints sounds heavenly!

LOVE photos...xx Emily of EL Vintage
That is a lovely description of her process. And completely understandable... I paint digitally all day for work, so I also can't wait to step away from everything digital at the end of the day, and get into my own art that's all created traditionally.
I even thought of parrots before I scrolled to the title of that piece. They're all so lovely and intriguing!
WOW. these are incredibly dreamy... thank you for sharing!!
