What’s on your “mind-scape”? Artist Jill Targer of Tepusquet Canyons says; “I use the term “mind-scape” to describe landscapes and other scenery that I make up from my impressions/memory, rather than from an actual photo or plein aire experience. So it’s more from my imagination than from what’s really out there.” To me, this silk on canvas painting personifies the magic of watching the big moon rise over the hills to the east. The moon peeks between the mountains, illuminating the Central Coast before it towers into full view. Regarding her artistic style, Jill says “In expressing my ideas, I like to let the paints do the work, then stop a bit short and invite your imagination to take over.” With this mind-scape surrounding us at night, sweet dreams definitely follow!
Jill teaches classes on how to make silk scarves at Allan Hancock College; see the Fall Spectrum for details. You can also enjoy her work at Gallery Los Olivos, Ron’s in Grover Beach and the Los Padres Artists’ Guild Open Studio and Garden Tour on June 14th.

I like those colors …they let my imagination roam. The kind of picture you never get tired of looking at.
