South Watuppa Pond

2012-01-15T11:14:00.002-05:00

My new watercolor of the pond in fog. The South Watuppa pond has a bike path between Fall River and Westport, MA which is also behind the Meditech building. I waited for the right weather to present, took photos and completed this watercolor, mounted on 5 separate wood canvases to resemble transversing through the pond by stepping on these rocks. This painting is now in the new exhibit at Gallery 11, Bristol, RI.

The Newport Bridge

Ladies Take a Bow

2010-01-02T12:26:00.001-05:00

There are many talents that people are blessed with that are worthy of great respect and awe. Since I’m a painter, I naturally revere the great masters in the art world, past and present. I dream of one day joining their ranks! But, if I had to choose a talent I secretly wish I possessed, it would be the ability to make people laugh. I had a wonderful comedic role model growing up. I’d watch her everyday after school, witnessing her plotting and planning her next escapade and hilariously pull it off! This woman was the embodiment of the woman I wish to grow up to be. A woman who uses every bit of intelligence that she has, a woman who is willing to do whatever it takes, a woman who is passionate, charming and unassuming, and not concerned about looking silly now and then. She taught me, that with a little creativity you can get what you desire by thinking outside of the box. There could be no worse a curse than to be dull or boring. When you do what you love to do, it shows, and the whole world acknowledges it and loves you for it. I Love Lucy!
Lucille Ball, take a bow!

Back to basics!
Especially in hard economic times like these, people tend to revert back to old- fashioned conservativeness.
I have a very useful culinary skill that saves money at the grocery store. I learned it as a pre-teen, on a cold New England day watching Saturday afternoon PBS. I can buy a whole chicken on sale, take it home, and expertly carve it into separate, recognizable parts. With the cut chicken parts, I can make a wonderfully aromatic Coq Au Vin, and utilize the leftover carcass for tomorrow’s French onion soup! My dogs get the inerts J ! Her straightforwardness was refreshing, she never made you feel to be inferior to her or inadequate by her presentation or instructions. She learned to cook in France choosing to go back to school when she was in her forties. She then tackled an enormous cooking book of delicious recipes to demystify French cooking for the average American housewife, saving thousands from the typical frozen dinner. No small task! The cooking book led her to her own TV cooking show on PBS. This was at a time when most women were complaining about not having opportunities outside of being housewives. On top of all of her culinary accomplishments, she was also a spy for the US government. Not to shabby! When you do what you love, and you do it with passion, you break down the barriers.
Today, I am making a flourless chocolate torte with sauce aux framboise like I do every year for my son’s New Year’s Eve party. Bonne Annee and Bon apetit!
Julia Child, take a bow!

Someone once said that each of us have many “soulmates” that come into our lives, not just one. Some pass by quickly, and some stay for a while. All of them come into our lives for a reason, to teach us a lesson.
“I used to know, this old Scarecrow…”
In 1974 I heard a voice on the radio that captivated me. It resonated in me so deeply, like I had known it forever. I became entranced with the sounds and the lyrics, and shocked me and surprisingly intrigued me with his creative flamboyancy .It was through this discovery that led me to my desire to be an artist. He’s also shown me that hard work, making good choices, the conquering of overindulgences (and their ultimate defeat) pay off. I’ve seen him handle all that life brought to him and rise above it. I’ve also seen commitment to charities and compassion for others. Through the years I’ve seen his passion for his work remain unfailingly strong. He loves his job just as much today as he did 35 (ouch) years ago and ….it shows when he speaks about music and the new upcoming talent he likes to promote. Thank-you dear teacher! Luckily I still have much to learn.
Sir Elton John, I bow to you!

Illustration to follow sometime soon in 2010!

Keep checking back in the coming days/weeks as I will be adding artwork in my portfolio which can be purchased directly from me.

Ladies Take A Bow, Ch. 1, pg.2

2009-09-10T11:52:00.002-04:00

Around '73-74, when I was 11-12 yrs. old, I got my first transistor radio (like an Ipod, only a lot bigger for those born after 1980), and had it permanently glued to my ear. I got it by money my Memere gave to me. What a joy listening to the Top 40 on WPRO FM in the early 1970's. It was a great transition period of the British Invasion and the sexual revolution. Wonderful, prolific songwriters, riding on the tailcoats of Bob Dylan, and Lennon and McCartney. I was entranced for the first time in my life. There were actually people out there with the same thoughts, dreams, and desires. It was at this time that I collided with my 1st "soulmate", and my drab, grey would began to color.
The colors of pink and purple sequins adorning platform shoes, with yellow boas, and gleaming, gold lame!

Visiting a friend's house who is a self admitted, well, you know, a bit untidy, I noticed a neat, orderly collection of old vinyl albums from the 60's and 70's. I actually owned several of the same records,God how I missed them, some of them were my best friends....

We all react to our surroundings whether at work or home. Vivid, warm, cheerful colors are known to give us energy and a better outlook. Simply put, they just make us feel really good about ourselves. Utilize these principals to enliven your home, increase employee productivity at your business, or make your clients happy to spend their money on your produts or services. By using specific design techniques, theese murals will engage the viewer and never become boring because when they are viewed at close proximity they look abstract. Move further away, and they begin to show form, viewed from a distance, a beautiful scene appears!

A Painter's Life

2006-09-07T08:28:00.000-04:00

email: ma.tisse@yahoo.com
Reared in Fall River in a rigid upbringing both at home and at school, I escaped into a world of creativity. I immersed myself into the music of my adolescence finding solace and a feeling of acceptance in being different, and there gained my creative license.

Upon leaving high school, I was accepted into and attended both Bristol Community College and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s art degree programs. My concentration was in Illustration and Photography primarily, also studying painting, sculpture, and printmaking.

Upon leaving school, my attention was focused on raising a family. Art was always present in my life during this time. It presented itself through landscape design, interior design, crafts, as well as the occasional fine art painting. Creativity also manifested in my day job as a dental professional for many years.
The overwhelming desire to paint again presented itself 2 years ago. Painting became a part-time occupation at this time and I joined other artists in area art societies. Soon after the desire to be a full time artist could no longer be silenced. I embarked on a career as a full time artist in the summer of 2006!
