My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

Wow, Tara, this is one of the better photos of me that I've seen lately! And it proves that I actually do have some hair left! LOL! I'm hoping that your camera still works OK? The pleasure was all mine - it was great having you and Bill over for an evening of great fellowship! And I'm glad you enjoyed the chicken. I really love grillin' - although I'm not sure the chickens are very enthusiastic about it... And, yes, we did get to drink the wine. All it took was: A screwdriver A 4-inch wood screw A pair of vice-grips A wooden dowel But it was really good wine! I think I'll go get a corkscrew for next time LOL! Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! And thanks, Tara, for a wonderful job on this. This is better than anything an overpriced 'Portrait' chain studio could ever do.

Hello Rod!!

Great portrait!!

Tara, this really is good. Open and honest shot with a fresh-face appeal. I love Rod's work and I've always thought he had to be a great guy by what he creates... you proved me right. His face says it all.

Fab portrait! He looks SO nice..

Lol at Rod--does that mean there were --gasp!!!--pieces of cork in the wine?? I think it tastes better when you have to work for it. Super shot of your new friend; he looks like a very friendly fellow!!

Wonderful portrait. The skin tone well captured.

A-1 portrait of another guy from Kansas City tk :-). Rod, there must be somebody else from around here but I haven't met him/her...have you? Tara, you have indeed caught Rod's personality. A-1 informal portrait:)

Great shot of Rod Tara, I think he commented to soon, if it was me I would wait till I have seen what everyone had written about me lol.. Now about this fellow Rod let me tell you a thing or too lol.. Great artist and a nice guy always has a pleasant word or comment.. Glad you got this shot of him.. and you got some wine that I hoped wasn't corked ;^) Excellent posting!!
kbrog
Excellent portrait!

Hello Rod, it is always nice to meet good people. Thank you Tara.

What a marvelous candid shot! You do this so well. It's nice to see faces behind the artwork. I love all of the details you capture here, and well...there was wine involved! That's always good, especially when one gets to engage in the intricacies of the "Opening of the Wine Ceremony" which, in Prague, might often include the use of teeth, once the cork is raised enough...but that's a ramble for another time. This is a great shot of someone I'd love to meet!
awjay

Great portrait.

You had me at 'opening wine'! When my young friend the Army Reserve Lieutenant first moved to Washington from L.A. he was always complaining about 'the damn hippies' and how nice people were. He couldn't stand it. Now he says he'll never leave. Looking at Rob's portrait I can understand why. You've captured the essence of the man, Tara. An open and honest face with deep smile lines around the eyes. The sparse eyebrows tell me he needs to stand further back from the grill. Brilliant work.

Great to meet him - with your wonderful portrait! Clive
