Watching time go by with a painting a day and showing others where to look.

Palm Thatch study
So much to discover in Miami! I am starting with the Thrinax family. A painting and research so hopefully it will stick logically in my mind. By painting, I am following that proverbial quote: The hand teaches the eye to see. Who said that?
A Google search does not bring up "the hand teaches the eye to see" as said by anyone - the only one it is attributable to when Googling the phrase is "Showing Up For The Muse," so I guess Tilly Strauss said it and said it so well .....
Tilly Strauss is a New England painter recently relocated to the southern side of Miami. Her whimsical works both hide and reveal a domestic quietude with restless escapism. Contrived out of found text, poetry, paint and soul searching, her studio work is featured on the website www.tillystudio.com
Right now Tilly is taking a break from the daily painting to question her muse and teach others where to look.
