Women of Colour to inspire you on the daily

20/8/2019

The 'Women of Colour' series was by far my most ambitious series of works to date. I painted 12 portraits of inspiring women of colour and colourful women of substance who live a life pursuing their passions and purpose in a way that inspires many others.

Over half of the original works in the collection have now sold, but there are still a number of prints in a range of sizes and options available and all are limited edition. Many of these prints have already found forever homes and it brings me great joy to see them hanging in their homes. When I've shared images of the works a few people have asked if they are still available, so I wanted to write this blog post to break down the options for you and hopefully give you some inspiration as to how they could bring joy and colour to your home or office every day.

HIGH QUALITY LIMITED EDITION PRINT OPTIONS:

There are signed and numbered unframed prints on smooth cotton rag paper of all 12 portraits available in the following 4 sizes:

Extra Small: 400 x 515 (A2) $200
Small: 500 x 670 (A1) $300
Medium: 650 x 875 (A1) $400
Large: 780 x 1050 (A0) $400


These can be framed before delivery on request for an additional cost, You just need to email me after you purchase the print to request this option. Alternatively I can ship the unframed print directly to your local framer if you want to save yourself the extra trip. This option is great for international collectors and we all know how long it can take to get around to framing prints. 

​

Pictured above is the Large print measuring 780 x 1050mm, which has been framed in oak.

The prints above are the Small print option 500 x 670mm in oak with 60mm matte board.

Above is a framed limited edition print of 'Fiercely Luxe' which is signed and numbered and framed in oak thanks to my preferred framer 'Left Bank Gallery'. If you are local to the Gold Coast, you can pick up your framed prints direct from Left Bank to massively save on shipping expenses. Just send me an email when you purchase your work.

STRETCHED CANVAS PRINT OPTION

All 12 of the 'Women of Colour' portraits are also available as framed stretched canvas prints, which look remarkably like the original canvas paintings thanks to the high resolution of the scans I had made of each work. These canvas prints are a part of the limited editions and a few of the works have already sold as canvas prints.

The canvas print measures 680 x 900mm and is framed externally in an oak shadow box.
It retails at $850 and like all of the limited edition prints, it comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. 

​Here are a few images to show you what this option looks like...

'Zimi Paradise' as a canvas print can be ordered here.

'Rainbow Dreaming' as a canvas print can be ordered here.

'Fiercely Luxe' as a stretched canvas print can be ordered here.

CAN'T DECIDE?
If you have any questions at all about the print options or can't find what you are searching for, please email me at contact@tamaraarmstrong.com and I'll get back to you asap. If there's a size option you are after that's not listed, just ask and I will happily get you a price for the size you are chasing. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. I'm even happy to take a look at a photo of the desired wall space you wish to hang a print on, and can offer colour suggestions for the right image to suit your space. 

If it's deciding which portrait to go with, remember you can always purchase the entire 12 works as a set of postcards to help you with your decision making. They also make for a great small framed work as they fit a standard photo frame, otherwise they are a great pick me up to send to friends and colour loving family.

I just love the earthy background against the vibrant colour you've used, it somehow grounds it and enhances it at the same time. My favourite piece keeps changing!

I love your paintings! My beautiful friend Maryann is one of your 'women of colour' series subjects and that's how I started following your creative journey. The way you capture the essence of your subjects and showcase their beauty always brings me joy. Thank you for sharing your paintings with us.

Hi Tamara, My wife is such a huge fan of your work. She especially loves your 'women of colour' collection. Our cousin is Induwa Cummings and she told my wife (Robin) about your 'women of colour' collection and some of the stories behind these amazing women. Robin then looked you up on fb. Her dream is to one day own one of her own. Keep up the amazing work, your paintings are truly inspirational and the essence of each woman captured beautifully.

I'd had my eye on your beautiful framed Rainbow Dreaming print in Watermelon Red late last year and bought it for myself for Christmas. Best present ever!!! She looks so beautiful in our home, I look at it every day and appreciate it. The colour, the beauty. I am a Sunshine Coast local and love following your work ♥️

Tamara, what I love about your Women of Colour collection is that I keep scrolling to each print to look at it again! Each one is so individual and yet to me each of the women has these; beauty both on the surface and from within, a quiet strength of knowing who they are, acceptance of themselves and others, and, those colours - wow!

I have been following you for a few years now and done a few of your courses. I love the vibrancy of your work and one day aspire for my work to be a fraction of what yours is. You are such a beautiful, passionate and inspirational soul and this shows in your work and they way that you teach. The Women of Colour series brings out the passion and strength of each of the gorgeous woman of whom you have portrayed. Look forward to seeing your next series. xo

Your work just keeps getting better! I always say to my students ‘colour makes me happy’ and that’s exactly how I feel looking at your works. Colour and passion and diversity! Well done - keep on growing as an artist and producing amazing pieces.
