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!

Oh, this is such an exciting gift for our friend, Helle, Tara. What a great idea too, to give Helle something so that she will always have a supply of surprises and joy from this magic tree. What can one need more, huh? A very thoughtful birthday gift, as words for our birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Helle.

I'm pretty sure that the Fae Vally people have cleared it for safety. Great gift and wished for Helle

Well, I was going to say there's probably a Fae or two hanging out in there, but Mike beat me to it! LOL
This is wonderful, Tara! Such a beautiful image, and perfect for Helle!
Happy Birthday, Helle!

Such mystery in this wonderful image Tara, I am sure Helle will be trying to move the image around to see what is in this magical log. I know I am. A beautiful birthday present. 😀

First, I'll get to other of your images this week---I just wanted to comment on your Helle dedi now, because it's still close to Helle's bday. I love what you wrote, and I agree with it 1000000%. You got Helle to the T. (And yes, as you said in your comment to me, trying to imitate her is an exercise in futility. Her work looks so natural and organic, and then you try to imitate it---fuggeddit!!! I did so many awful efforts, I gave up.) I love what you said about this: a little painting, a little photography, etc. What you created was this big rushing ocean of lines and forms, with forms one expects to see in a raging river. And you made it all painterly. And it has a big hollow that leads we know not where. I like Mike's and Rod's idea of fairies hiding inside. Zoom's a must---it's like a rushing tidal wave! Beautiful gift and words for Helle, I second all of it! Happy Birthday Helle, and I hope you're resting after your always busy Christmas holidays! And terrific job Tara!
(And I'm not gonna do a standup routine anymore---you already did one, lol. I"m used to jokes from you, but standup jokes? All you missed was "but seriously folks...I laughed when you came in...is this thing on??? is this thing on???" A latent comic inside you! Never saw that one coming!)

Tara, Thank you so much for this beautiful sleeping Dragon, protecting the deep cave inside the log. I want to go there and I am sure the dragen will protect me too :) Love the pines wrapping the log. A wonderful contrast. Love this Image so much. Thank you Tara also for your warm wishes and I will remember to have this log in mind and go and linger, when I need to unstress :)
