Lately I've been getting back into drawing and painting - so my mind is off in the land of artists and paintings. This movie is majorly inspiring! I wonder what Timna Wollard is up to these days ....

Where the Heart Is
Donna O'Brien of The Ribboned Crown had a fun post recently where she asked everyone to tell what their favorite movies were. That got me to thinking about a fabulous little movie from 1990 called Where the Heart Is. Most of the characters in the movie are creative artist-types, my favorite being a character played by Suzie Amos who portrays a Trompe L'oeil mural artist. The actual artist doing the spectacular murals is Timna Woollards and her technique is to use live models in with her painted backgrounds to create amazing effects. If you click on this link you can see a bit of the movie.

Hi- I, too, have been looking all over the internet for this film, which I saw years ago on German TV (there, it's called "Zeit der bunten Vögel" -"A time for colourful birds", which I think is lovely as well...:)) Anyway, information about Timna Woollards is very hard to come by, and before I stumbled upon your site, I found this one: http://www.kisrael.com/features/heartis/
Given the great effort "kisrael" described that he (or maybe she) had to go to to get these stills from the film, I assumed you got them there, too, for your site (since there's apparently no other source); and I just wanted to give him (/her?) credit for it! (even though your post is more than two years old...) Okay. Done. Thanks!
And thank you for spreading the love for this greaaat film!! I'd really like to know why it isn't better known!!!
I loved this movie. I have it on VHS. And I am choosing it to talk about in my Humanities course for Art in one of my discussions because it is such a awesome movie for the arts and is a great romantic comedy!
If you can find it, it is worth viewing. Enjoy!
Love this movie. I have been searching for it for years. So glad it's on iTunes now!
