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!

Man, how did I not see your first sentence? I mean, you stated, sentence one: "A blend of four images..." It's a testament to your unifying abilities that I thought it was one image. Ok, my stupidity aside, I see the introspective, exploring and mystical tara in this, and it's a magic kingdom for Lucinda, who has so many worlds inside her. I can see more than one image, but the reflections are like pillars, hologram pillars of solid light and nature with forests and buildings "beaming down" into the aquarium. And your mixed textures of fish, jelly fish, those cottony things on the bottom (apologies to biologists), the beams of reflection and that big blue beam of light on the left create a din of other worldly creatures who you've caught in a sudden snapshot to reveal the life inside a tank of water. ("the universe in a grain of sand"). It's beautiful. And dark and mysterious and magical and filled with lights falling in from everywhere.
Whenever you post these types of images, it's a real treat because they show a whole other side to your vision, and they always resonate with ancient vibes and mystical sightings, mysteries and revelations. Perfect for Lucinda, because she finds those things everywhere. Happy Birthday, Lucinda! And many, many more! You're missed here! (And happy milestone birthday! It's huge!) Terrific dedi, Tara: It's almost an oil painting over a photo, which is sweet because Lucinda has done oil paintings too.

WOW - this looks like the sunken city of Atlantis, but being found in Oregon, instead of Cadiz... this is really cool ! I love those jellyfish floating around, minding their own business and then those 'cottony things' (?) Mark discovered, actually he is not far off, they do look like cute 'mauvey' - coloured powder puffs.
When you see Lucinda next, please give her my love and hugs ::Many Happy Returns LUCINDA::

Intriguing is indeed a good word for this! I initially, being laptop deprived, saw this on the small screen of my cell phone, and pretty as it was, it definitely deserves a larger venue. This is a thriving, bustling city. The reflected outside and beam of light have the appearance of columns and make me think of a city center with crowds going about doing their daily rounds, stopping to chat, rushing to work or just lazing about watching the world go by. The translucency of some of the fish, add to the sense of motion. I just noticed that I have been spotted. There’s a fish, top center, who is giving me a very “What you looking at” look. I just waved at him. He was unimpressed. This is marvelous! I just love your layered work. Now that I have a Wacom, we can sit together and you can teach me some of the stuff you taught me before that I have forgotten. :( Thank you for this beautiful birthday image! I love it! I’m looking forward to August!
