Tuesday is artist appreciation day & today it’s all about the work of C. Tanner Jensen, another artist I found via Twitter.
Artist of the Week
Todays artist has a strong appreciation for texture & color, her work is boldly unexpected yet completely balanced all at the same time. She loves all horse breeds equally, appreciating the different movement of each one.
Keeping Up With Tanner
Be sure to visit her website at www.ctannerjensen.com & subscribe to her blog at ctannerjensen.blogspot.com to see her latest stuff & you can always find Tanner on Twitter to keep up with her work. Here are some quick quotes & my favorite images from her interview, you can read the whole interview here.
“My first memories of drawing horse was when I was about 3 yrs old. I would entertain myself for hours with a box of crayons and paper.”
“My inspiration usually comes from passion, not always mine. I have had philosophies, poems, books, songs, etc inspire a series of paintings. Also something as simple how a shadow is falling across the lawn.”
“Outside is usually where I get re-energized. I find that I daydream about paintings while I’m mowing the lawn or digging in the earth.”
“Anywhere there is internet people can view my art and then contact me. I’ve had people email me from all over the world, how cool is that!”
Enjoying the Artists
Hope you enjoyed this artist re-visit & that you’ll check out Tanner’s full interview to learn more about her & her work. Stay tuned because next week we’ll be re-visiting an interview with horse artist Juliet R. Harrison.
