Tara Andris Cloud Paintings

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.

I love how you can see some of the texture on the surface from the leafing process.

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.

  6. I am amazed at the spectacular (yet subtle) use of leafing. And the Cloud Study 3/1/13 is wonderful – what I call "stutter" clouds which are always just WAITING to show off at sunset. <3!

  9. Wow, Tara is so talented! Her work is beautiful! I really like Warmth–I think the pink tones would look beautiful in my new baby's nursery (if we have a girl, that is :)

  17. These are absolutely gorgeous – I'm so glad you introduced me. I love her original paintings – April is definitely my favorite, but I also really love these as stationary. Cloud Study 5/1/13 would be such a fun way to send a little bit of snail mail.

  23. I would be happy with any of them especially in our small, bright room that we call the study. My favorite is Pink Clouds, if it is just for me. After Christmas one might have to come home with me.
