My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
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!
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!

That Harp is simply fascinating to look at - but even more so is that upholstery pattern on the chair, all sorts of insects: Butterflies, Moth (?) and Dragonflies, how amazing and wonderful at the same time - "they don't make them like that anymore" ... (not that I have ever seen it, but then again I may live a pretty sheltered sort of a life here in Down Under ;P ... and not to forget THAT lighting, it's so cool and makes a fine dedi for your friend.

Oh yes so lovely!!! I also would like to see more of the harp in this scene. It is really gorgeous with the lighting the way you photographed it. Thanks for sharing Craig's birthday gift with us. Happy birthday Craig.

Lovely image and dedication.

If I imagine a cat I also see a Fritz seething with the urge to kill it, which rather spoils the mood. A very beautiful photo.

The cat went into hiding when she was told (erroneously) that the harp strings were made from catgut...! Wonderful light and your usual eye for superb composition. Thanks so much for this gorgeous gift, Tara. You're a star (but of course, you knew that..!)

Happy BIrthday, Craig!!! And Craig can relax because catgut is actually from goats or sheep, and occasionally cattle---so cats of the world, relax! Besides the harp and chair, the light behind and the light in front make this a beautiful photograph, Tara. The harp and chair are almost "zen" in juxtaposition, even though their ornamentations harmonize with each other: It's the fact of a 'chair' and a 'harp' that make them so totally different. It's a piece of a glorious-looking instrument, hidden behind a beautiful chair, making a beautiful pov. The light on the chair---bathed as it is in your deep brown shadows---is contrasted with that utter white light---I was going to say "flat" white, but it's more luminous than flat. And the contrast of berries and leaves with those ephemeral curtains is more zen contrast: It's beautiful. A beautiful and luminous capture, with loving contrasts, and the feeling of a very intimate space being lit from somewhere special---somehow all features that Craig makes his fans feel. A beautiful dedi for Craig, and a beautiful photo (which everyone else agrees with). Happy birthday again, Craig!

A very beautiful and classic photo, Tara! This is wonderful!

Old world elegance - other than the light, I especially like the figures carved on the harp & the insect motif on the chair back...

The curtains harp and chair, the light, so smoothly, diffuse, everywhere, all the subtle reflections such gentle, makes this an intensely, lovely sight.

Amazing work as always. I immediately knew that was Houmas House. I visited it in 2013. Fascinating place isn't it?
