The Beginning of a New Series

Tara Sood Fine Art Notes

“Environs and the People that Grace them” – my motto encompassing all my art and collections

A Sneak Peek into my new collection I am building: Curious Psychology.  This first piece is called, “Jersey Girl” oil on canvas, 12x12inches, focused on the portrayal of her boisterous spicy personality.  The face resting on the hand in a relaxed but active manner pulls the attention of the viewer to the face which seems to stare out with a bit of sass and challenge.

Curious Psychology will be a series, to depict in paint and charcoal the gesture of the body, the face, and the hands.  I aim to paint the deep mind thoughts that cause the body to move, to settle, to express or not to express.  As I paint I want to understand the person behind their external appearance.  Often times the hidden thoughts are expressed when a person believes they are unobserved.  Others, wear their thoughts as visible ornaments.  Both, I seek to paint using planes, likenesses, and impressions. 

This series is aimed to be complete and ready for revealing and exhibition in a year: March 2026.  This blog is a quick glimpse into the beginnings of this project.  Watch for snippets of this series as it progresses through the year.  In the meantime I will be focusing on my other two series: Twirl and On Light, On Home, On Life.  You can see the completed pieces for these series on my website: www.tarasood.com.

Happy Art Day!  Consider bringing some figures into your life with portraiture and figurative art as your next painting or drawing to grace your walls.  They are conservation starters and such fun!  Comments, purchase inquiries, questions, or art thoughts are welcome.  I love hearing from you.  Please write me at the contact form on my website: www.tarasood.com or through my e-mail: art@tarasood.com.
