Hot Metal Mama >> Online Profile and Gallery for Metal Artist Teresa Thompson

I know alot of painters and I don't mean the Sherwin Williams kind. They are some of the most incredibly talented people I know but most carry around canvas that fit in the back seat of their car. Mine are a little shinnier, much larger and considerably heavier. The one above is actually two 10' X 5' driveway gates laid side by side. Rather intimidating , laying there in their naked glory. The next photo is of five very large panels that will be part of the same project in the Keys. Blank slates invite obvious analogies, my favorite being a brand new beginning. I actually get a little tingley looking at that lovely, lonely blank slate. It's a chance to create something wonderous with my own two hands. I love getting lost in that process. I love my job. I'll keep you updated on the progress. The last photo is the look that's waiting for me by the front door everytime I come home from a road trip. I love my dog, guilty looks and all.
