Oh my gosh! I just sent out the most amazing blog the other day and my blogging program had a little moment where it decided not to send to anyone! I really hope you don't miss out on my latest juicy news... as it is only day 6 of 2012 and I have already sold 4 paintings...
Don't miss out... check out what's on the easel now!

2012
Bienvenue and welcome to all on this fabulous day :-)
Much has been in the works behind the scenes here at Nirvana Visions, during this Christmas and newyears break and I have a beautiful new work that has been on the easel for weeks, being brought to life...
Here are a couple of sneak peak close up sections of the same work in progress... hmmm, I wonder what the WHOLE painting looks like?
Well, you will just have to stay tuned.
My daughter has also been working on her own new painting of herself and her brother in the circus:
She is a chip off the old block our Zoe, I am so proud of her beautiful paintings and she is sure picking up some great technique fast!
We are now reclaiming order in our household after weeks of Christmas discord of toys, packaging and wrapping paper and getting back to a clean house and private art lessons which start back this week. Spaces are filling fast, so contact me now if you would like to introduce some private lessons into 2012. On your own , or with a friend, private art sessions are a great way to invest in your own creative inspiration and skill as well as a bit of 'me time', which we all need!
Our Christmas holiday Saturday classes start this Saturday and run from 9am to 11am. All are welcome at a fee of $20, all materials included (tea and nibbles as well). Please just send me a txt. or message if you would like to join Leigh and I and some keen students. Tara PH:0417231350.
Normal weekly art classes will resume on Tuesday 31st January.
Thankyou to all who have supported myself and my art in 2011 and I am deeply grateful.
Warm Regards,
Tara Spicer

The traveller's heart is always beating...
Hi there friends and fans,
Well despite technical difficulties with my camera, I still wanted to offer you a peak at my newest painting fresh off the easel (so my apologies for the slight over-exposure at the centre of this painting photo). "The Road Less Travelled" is my latest work. I could go on for days as to why I love this image so much and why I chose to paint it...
Your feet only need touch the earth once and your spirit warmed in just a single moment in this life and that moment will stay with you always. I have met and even had the opportunity to spend time with some of these incredibly awe-inspiring creatures and I really feel that they have a world of wisdom that you connect with when you look into their eyes. This is what I was hoping to capture in this painting... I hope it brings you great peace within and a touching reminder that the world is bigger than our own four walls.
This image was painted from a photograph taken by an unknown photographer.
Acrylic on Gallery Cotton.
1m x 1m x 3.5cm.
Now selling at $1200.
Please contact me if you would liket o invest in this piece.
Warm Regards,
Tara Spicer.

Storm brewing!
Hello there art lovers,
Welcome to my easel :-)
Fresh news of a storm brewing inspired my latest painting "Storm In A Tea Cup". Light and fluffy with flowing freedom of beautiful blues, this painting was a pure pleasure to paint and brings great peace to all who rest their eyes upon it.
Here is another shot of the piece in different lighting, with all of its layers of blue while it was in the works. This gives you a better view of the depths of blue carried in the piece:
Please contact me if you are interested in inviting this special piece into your home.
More news to come soon, I am currently working on a piece featuring a beautiful indian elephant for those of us with a gypsy traveller's heart and I am also commencing a work featuring a young girl with Black Cockatoo's with a very Australian feel...
Thankyou for sharing some time with me,

Our first ever 'Student Art Show!
 |
| Nirvana Visions Student Art Show 2011 Well normally this blog is reserved to the stroking of my own ego, but today is a special day where I am going to spend just a little bit of time stroking the ego of our wonderful Art Students that have been attending art lessons with myself and Leigh.  Friday night marked the opening of our first ever 'Student Art Exhibition' showing works from almost all of our students ranging in ages from 5yrs to 85yrs! The works on display will be open to the public until Friday 21st october at the Peregian Beach Hotel, so if you couldn't come along on the opening night, you can still pop in to have a look, maybe even to buy one of these unique works.    Thankyou again to those who attended the opening night, we hope that each of you have gained much from your lessons with us and your inclusion in our first ever Student Art Show, all of your works looks absolutely fantastic!       On another note, just to show you that you don't need to attend a studio to do yoga, here is a quick pick of how Leigh and I prepared ourselves for the big night...  We have been vigilantly attending yoga classes at Bikram Yoga and Massage at Noosa. Having only been attending for a short period of time, we can already sing the praises of this torturous but extremely beneficial practise, if you would like to know more, just pull one of us aside for a quick chat about it. Back to the Easel! Having recently received interest from Gallery Beneath at Mooloolaba, I am just now finishing off a small sereies of works to be represented by this Gallery. Here is a quick little preview of one of these paintings in its finishing stages, to be sold through the gallery. Please contact the Gallery if you are interested in investing in any of these works (sooner is better than later as a little birdie has told me that the prices of such paintings is about to go up!).  A Moment Away from the Crowds 30 x 40 x 1 inches Acrylic on Gallery Linen POA Thanks for spending a little time with me, I hope that I have brought some magic to your day! Tara Spicer |

In the works
Oh my gosh it has been a long time since my last post!
To be titled: Between the Crowds, this painting (sketch, at present) measures 30 by 40 inches on Gallery linen.

Well, despite this, I have been a busy little artist and am currently working on a circus themed artwork. I have always loved the circus and considered myself a closet nomadic gypsy and I love to portray this kind of character within my paintings. Still currently in the sketching phase and definately with a few weeks to go, but I love her already!
