Listening For The Title.....


This is a large 48"x38"x1.5" commissioned nude oil in it's very early stages.  As it progresses I will post updates.  The background is showing a glare in this photo as it is a mix of orange, iron oxide, copper and yellow ochre.

Check back in a few days to follow it's progression and if you have any title suggestions contact me through my website contact page...and while there...look around and enjoy!


Have a blessed day, filled with light, love and joy.....Amy

"Mosaic Series" Complete Oil Mosaic Series, Nautilus, Gemstones, Custom Oil Colors Palette, Intricate, Colorful, Evolution by Fountain Hills, Arizona Fine Artist~Amy Tuso







This series was inspired by "mother nature" and all the beauty that surrounds us.
As I studied the evolution of the Nautilus it became abundantly clear this creature masters the art of moving forward with life...one doorway at a time...until the ultimate journey home to our Father.

The first and last images shown here are done completely in oils and measure 36"x36"x1.5" on gallery wrapped canvas.

The other five pieces (counting 2 for the dyptichon) all have deep layers of black acrylic as the background with oils comprising the intricate mosaic pieces.

My use of black was to emulate the "spaciousness" of time allowing one to sense the floating that a nautilus experiences in the sea.

Each piece took extended periods of time to create allowing the oil to cure properly before adding additional layers of oil to the mosaics.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoying a bit of your day with me!
Have a blessed day and may it be filled with light, love and peace....Amy

I am so excited about my new extension of art...paper clay sculpture! 

This form of sculpting allows me to explore creating by feeling and molding the clay.  It is awakening a wonderful form of expression within me.  I have so many ideas floating in my head and my soul that sculpting is going to allow me to affordably manifest.

Paper clay is just that...clay made from paper.  No firing or actual metal is used and when the piece dries, it hardens as if it has been fired.  I than paint it with acrylics and finish with a UV glaze that creates a visual of metal.  What absolute fun!

I hope that this holiday season brings joyful insight into your soul as you discover the inner you, just as I am.

Please stop by my website and check out my sculpture of "Webster" which can be found in the New Artwork Gallery as well as in the Sculpture Gallery and drop me a note telling me your thoughts or perhaps what you would like to see manifest as a new affordable sculpture.

Have a blessed day of love, light and peace....Amy
