Good morning everyone, we have had an interesting week.  Jason and I (with the girls of course) attended a very cool artist lecture in Nashville; Artemio Rodriguez, a well known Mexican printmaker, was giving a lecture on his work at Watkins College of Art and Design.  The girls behaved so well and I left with an autographed print, I couldn't ask for a better evening. It is so nice the girls are finally old enough to attend public events, it is very educational for them as well.
Flora continues to draw constantly, I am posting a few of her recent drawings for you to enjoy..........Amanda T.

Amanda and I will be in our first show together as part of the Art Prowl in Cookeville, TN coming up in November.  Come out and support your local artists on Nov. 11 & 12th.  We are excited to be a part of the show this year.

Thought I would share one of my paintings recently completed.  This is my first official painting on stretched canvas.  This paintings started as a complete disaster to tell you the truth.  I decided it would be fun to work with fabric because I love funky, colorful fabric, but....adhering it to the canvas without having any bubbles underneath wasn't easy.   I had to cut the shape out about 3 times to get it right,  thank goodness I bought extra fabric!  It did turn out good in the end, but was a challenge. ....Amanda T.

It has been a great week at the Tingler Art Machine, thank you for visiting our new site and thank you to our new and existing collectors, we appreciate you!

As many of you know, our daughter  is a gifted artist herself.  She draws constantly, we are amazed with her creativity and talents...We are sharing here 3 pictures she completed this past week during her first week of kindergarten..
Enjoy....Amanda T.
