Summer Art Paintings

T.S. Harris is a painter who currently lives and works in California. Her main inspiration is from mid-century film stills trying to depict the lifestyle of that era. Her main theme is summer and she depicts it wonderfully. As like the Japanese graphic designer Taku Bannai, Harris depicts stunningly the scene. Nonetheless, she is more descriptive than Bannai.

Harris’ main medium is oil and at any time has a few of paintings under development. In fact, she says that “I’ll spend a couple of hours working on a piece, and then it’s really too wet to continue, so I’ll set it aside and work on another one. I’ll normally have a handful of paintings in progress at once […]“.

In a recent interview, Harris described that it is essay to rush in life, to get caught up and miss what’s most important. “So, I started painting that feeling — that feeling of what’s most precious, about what you don’t want to miss. she explained. “We have this beautiful sun. We have this beautiful beach and an umbrella and just this moment in time where we can slow down and feel free“.
