"Awakening" by Tatiana Myers.


"Awakening" by Tatiana Myers. © 2009

11 x 14", Ampersand Pastel Board,

Oil Pastel. Framed.


Awakening was painted to become my show entry to Annual Oil Pastel Society 2009 web show "Transformation". Later I also entered this painting at annual juried regional show of York Art Association where this work got an Award of Excellence.
This painting is representing a rare natural phenomena (well, not so rare in Pennsylvania!) of freezing rain covering my favorite bush of climbing roses.For those of you, who wander, what happened to the rose bush - no, it wasn't hurt and still bringing me those pretty red flowers year after year.

With questions about this painting e-mail me at TanyaOfOz@aol.com .

This is just so beautiful, Tatiana...I love the little icicles too, the blurred out background...Not surprised you won an excellence award for this piece!

Bertie Brown said...

So exquisite... those berries just pop!

Thom Glace said...

What a great eye for picking a subject. It is my favorite by you to date.

Tatiana said...

Thank You, Autumn!
You are not surprised... I WAS. It was my first show here in USA and most importantly - I didn't even know that work was accepted to show, when they called me about that award. What a shame!

Thank You, Bertie!
I like this one myself. I had a great time working on it.

Thom... thank you too!
Don't you tell me the same thing about each new painting?... So, I guess I'm working right now on something what will be your next "my favorite"!.. :-)

Exquisite, Tatiana! I think this may be my favorite of yours, but then again I saw some really nice work of yours in the Art & Soul Gallery today!

Tatiana said...

Thank You, Claire!
This is, perhaps, my favorite painting up to date, even I have few more, what I like, this one is very special to me...

Speaking about "Art And Soul" gallery, next week on Friday 29 I will be doing Oil Pastel demo painting there... Everybody is more then welcome to stop by. I will be working from about 11:30 to 2:30.

I think you showed this to me the first day we met while plein air painting at Fort Hunter along the Susquehanna River. It is gorgeous.

Maria Kovalenko Leysens said...

This is a very nice piece. I love how observant you are and the details you chose to use... Colors are just right too.

Tatiana said...

Yes, Mary Beth, it was on the very end of my portfolio, I'm pretty sure you know this one. I tried to do my best with pictures of it, but never managed to get it totally accurate.Well, maybe someday it will be ob another show.

Thank You, Maria!
It was my first every try on ice/glass and any of those things. It is not so scary, how I though it is.
