Best quote of recent, from fellow artist Shaheer Zazai, "We paint love letters to the idea of the painting, we don't paint the idea itself." - Tuesday, 3 August 2012
This is only natural, as the act of realizing the work, and the thoughts pulling it into physical form all create an erasure of the original essence and intention of the idea.

New beginnings
It's time for a new blog and a new city. I've returned to Toronto this month, but in the move have lost a great deal of my art. I did not have the money or desire to move my larger works, so they were hauled off to the garbage a couple of weeks ago; I've updated my gallery (tamarawong.com) descriptions to reflect if a piece has been destroyed or sold.
Though it is as freeing as it is daunting to work in large format, I would like to hone my skill at crafting smaller works, both for convenience of storage and transport, and for sheer interest in the different skill set doing so requires.
Stay tuned.
