I am fascinated by clouds and cloud patterns. I am the geek that sits plastered to the plexi during flights so I can see all the beautiful clouds along the way. :)
Tara Andris is a Kansas City artist who paints the most beautiful cloud and abstract scenes. She starts out by gold or silver leafing her canvases, so that after her painting process, the end result is a dreamy, luminescent and very life-like cloud pattern.
I hung my Tara Andris cloud painting in our library and I think it looks lovely in here. It might end up having another home as I hang more art and more around furniture, but it looks great here for now. It might be extra perfect here when I finish our blue glossy walls in the music room.
Tara also happened to be a blog reader and she asked if I would like to give away one of her paintings. She sent me this beautiful painting called ‘Brooklyn’ (fitting!!) to gift one of you lovely readers.
Here’s a close up. Isn’t it stunning? Tara’s paintings are best in rooms with great natural light.
Tara sells her original works here, and her prints, iPhone and iPad covers, totes and pillows here. To enter to win this beautiful original oil on top of leaf on canvas, visit Tara’s shop and leave a comment on this post with your favorite painting of Tara’s.
Contest ends Dec. 21 at midnight. Winner will be emailed. Good luck!! (and many thanks to Tara!)

Cloud Study 2/10/13 is my favorite, but I hope I win Brooklyn!
Moonlight and water are reminiscent of Monet-I'm thinking chiefly of his garden at Giverny. I would love to have some of Tara's clouds!
I love Warmth…I cannot look away!

these are amazing! I would happily take any of them, but I'd say Spring Rain is one of my favorites.
What a great and original concept! Liking cloud study and Nassau
Clouds are my favorite thing! And as I looked around…Brooklyn was my favorite! Please please!
I love the cloud study from march 1st because it starts to look like the dreamy glaciers in Iceland the longer you stare at it.
It's hard to pick just one, but I keep scrolling back to Violet. Beautiful!
I love the colors in Passerby.
Wow, these are stunning. Hard to pick between Charlotte and April but I think April wins. So beautiful!

They are all gorgeous, but spring rain in particular stands out to me.
Wow. I love how the sun brings them to life! Beautiful.
Love Cloud Study 5/1/13! Thanks for the giveaway!
