An Enduring Love

TRINITY - On a windswept meadow on a warm Sunday morning blessed, in countless ways, with unlimited visibility, a bright-eyed fellow born not long after the dawning of the previous century played the expectant witness as his hired artist worked at a troublesome knot.

 

    

Many thanks to everyone working at Bronz Art Foundry  in Sarasota.  www.BronzArt.com   Rick, you and your employees are made up of an exceptionally high quality group of gifted craftsmen and women. The sculpture is absolutely beautiful! 

Thank you! 

Tamara

 

 

 


THANK YOU for visiting Artistic Murals website!

 

If this is your first time here, welcome!

In this website you will find images of murals that were created in the last 5 1/2 years.  These murals were all commissioned and contain a multitude of themes ranging from tropical landscapes, underwater scenes, seascapes, marine life, wildlife, animals, Tuscany murals  and 1920s genre murals with people. In addition to painting, I have recently began sculpting. The photographs of "Eternal Love" are of my first sculpture, it represents profound love that is shared by two very special people. My life size sculpture is finished now and is safely at Bronze Art Foundry, Sarasota, Florida.  The clay will be cast as a limited edition, life size bronze. 

 

I would like to express my deep appreciation to the Bissi family, William, Doug, Debbie, Roberta & Rebecca for posing for this sculpture and all the valuable feedback  given to me while sculpting these clay portraits of Mr. & Mrs. William Bissi during the 1940s

With honor, respect and love,

Tamara
