    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (July 11, 2014) – Tara Reed’s whimsical dog paintings are now being exhibited in the Vultee Conference Room at Sedona City Hall through the end of September 2014.

    Tara grew up in New York City and developed her talent for painting at the High School of Art & Design. She then studied Fine Art at the world-renowned Fashion Institute of Technology. She has been painting since she was four years old and has the ability to paint photo realistically, although she enjoys including fantastical elements in her work.  20140711_emily-puglinson-34Each piece in her dog series, The Dogs of Virtue, maintains an air of whimsy, but when appropriate, followed extensive research into time, setting, and telling a story. Her paintings are intended to intrigue and delight.

    Tara enjoys emulating and mixing styles. The dog series, although modern, are an emulation of the Flemish style of portraiture. Tara includes Trompe-l’oeil, French for trick of the eye and various tricks of light, shadow, and volume in her work. Some of her most recent work can be viewed at The Field Organic Restaurant in Sedona. Tara has resided in Sedona since 1995.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
