Nature - It's fractal shapes and designs

Electro-Magnetic Torus Energy Field

Mushrooms in a field with all their organic shapes and forms, colors and shades are examples of natural beauty and perfect design. Everywhere in nature we find these recurring shapes and colors, living next to each other in harmony and perfect form. Nature reveals the beginning of life forms.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love Man less, but Nature more.

I've been working on a new series of organic images that come to me while I'm dreaming...they seem to come from the aquifer below the Sahara. When I was in Egypt it was told to me that when the pyramids were built there was a lush aquifer under the land following for miles along the Nile. Its my belief the pyramids were power systems - lighting the sky through electromagnetic "torus" energy (think Nicolas Tesla). This idea of having free energy is with me all the time (www.thriveon.com)

Anyway, here are some of these images. This series is called Sahara Unity I thru V.

Upcoming Classes

Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting Classes:

Study the classical approach to fine art with Vicky Tesmer's studio. Students learn line contour, classical drawing and painting, and develop skills in color mixing and spatial relations. Using a mixture of mediums, artists study portraiture, life drawing, still life and studying work of the masters.

Please see below for class schedules for the Young Artist Program and the Adult class schedule.

We do offer figure study drawing classes if there is a demand. Figure painting and drawing is the art of understanding human life - the flesh which covers the soul. There must be an interest in the subject - something the artist wants to say about the subject. It is a primary condition to painting the figure and portrait painting. The work is done when that special conversation has been found. The art teacher helps the artist find this dialog, preparing the artist with the necessary tools to self-express.

If your child is preparing a portfolio for high school or college admittance the cost is $600.00 for the 10 hour week session. (Two hour a day class.) Classes are being held in the studio or remotely. For inquiries please email me: tjartinc@ameritech.net. The studio prepares a portfolio jpeg visual file to attach to their applications.

Since graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, artists have worked with Vicky Tesmer in her decorative arts business creating one-of-a-kind environments from hotel lobbies, residences, chapels, schools, restaurants and public art projects. Their talents have been used in a variety of mediums from murals to tile mosiac to creating full interiors and environmental designs.
