New Work, New Listing

                                                  Tess Farnham,  " Study in Lavender and Light"

Here is a work I just finished this past weekend.  Currently I am working on a piece tentatively called "Still Rising," a mixed media collage work in parts I and II.  The collage features women of the blues and jazz mixed with pastel and various other mediums.

Last night I started another in a series of blues legends mixed media collage and the work in progress is tentatively called, "Sister Rosetta Echoes Down from Her Home in Heaven."   I will be posting photos of that one soon!  Thanks for checking this out.
