Tara Roskell - Abstract Figurative Artist

Every artist knows a Jen Eric, the one who says “play it safe.” Not My Collector celebrates the ones who don’t. If she wouldn’t hang it, you’re probably on to something. #NotMyCollector #ArtistVoice

Work in Progress. Adding the charcoal layer. She is starting to take shape now. What do you think to the colour? Do you prefer brighter or more subtle art? First piece in a new satirical series #NotMyCollector Curious Minds - rfr.bz/t7fada4

They said it like an insult. So I made it the headline. #NotMyCollector “Not My Collector” isn’t about rejection. It’s an experiment in presentation, showing the same paintings through the eyes of people who just don’t get it. rfr.bz/t280892

Just a background for now. (You’ll soon see where this is going.) #NotMyCollector I’m sharing the first piece of Not My Collector faces first through “Curious Minds”, my newsletter very soon. Curious Minds - rfr.bz/tee4380

“I can’t believe they say this” The kind of thing you read, roll your eyes at… and then make art about. #NotMyCollector The full story behind Not My Collector lands in “Curious Minds” - my newsletter soon. rfr.bz/t2ca6fe

@JulianGoldieSEO Interesting, I create a lot of custom GPTs for myself and have been thinking about creating one as a lead magnet, but this might work too. Just need to work out what would appeal to them but can also work for me as an artist.

Ever tried customising your own clothes? I’m moodboarding my artist style and keep coming back to smart jackets + boots with a twist. Might finally try it. Would you?

Dan sent £20,580 in Monopoly money with the note, “Keep the change, you filthy animal.” It’s his bid for my painting, which I’m selling for £10,000 in fake cash. It’s a real experiment in value and visibility. rfr.bz/tdbf54e

I’m an artist, and a worrier. That’s how the Doubt Creature started. I’ve now painted 2 based on anonymous submissions. In the new ones, I cover the doubt with stars or butterflies. Got a doubt to share? Add it to the Vault rfr.bz/t434a17 Might end up in my next piece.

I’m selling this painting for £10,000. But I’m only accepting Monopoly money. If you want it, send £10,000 in physical Monopoly notes and a short note explaining why. One person will get the painting. Deadline is 7 August. DM me for full details

I thought this was finished. But when I stepped back, it felt too calm. And this is a Doubt Creature. It’s about tension. To reflect the battle in our minds. So I’m making it rougher. More grungy. Grittier. I’ll show you soon.

Would you trade £10,000 in Monopoly money for a real painting? I’m making one piece. One chance. A bit of a social experiment. Because I believe one day my art will be worth that. Would you do it?

Sneak peek... This is a Doubt Creature - part of an ongoing series where I paint real, anonymous doubts submitted to my “Doubt Vault.” “What if I am actually a fraud?” It’s not finished. But I wanted to share the raw version first. Ever wrestled with imposter syndrome?

The Doubt creature showed up in my paintings years ago. Back then, I just painted it as it was. This is the first time I’ve tried to quieten it with butterflies. A symbol of freedom. They don’t erase the Doubt, but they soften it to a whisper. #paintoverdoubt

Eyes will be watching. Will yours? The trial begins soon. rfr.bz/ta2536c #Artmageddon

I asked what to cover the Doubt with. You chose butterflies. I tried them. Then stars. The stars felt better. Not because of what they were, but how I painted them - loose, imperfect, free. So I changed the butterflies too. Now they breathe. Now it feels right.

Painting over Doubt with butterflies The butterflies symbolise freedom from the doubt. They don’t completely cover the Doubt creature, but they soften it to a quiet whisper. Just enough so you can kick its arse. #doubt #doubts #paintoverdoubt #mindset #mindsetshift
