Susan, this is awesome, so vivid! "From the Sideboard" - a terrific work! I enjoyed seeing the set-up along side the painting. I hope the NC show went well.
Hi Jill, Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Also, I'm glad you commented because I lost all my blogposts last week and am trying to find everyone again. Now I can put yours back on my link. Hope you're getting lots of painting done. What am I saying, now I can go to your blog and see for myself! Happy painting, Susan
Painting is a passion similar to someone motivated to throw a perfect fast ball or win a marathon. It takes some natural abilities and a whole lot of work and determination to get it just right.
My inspiration to paint is from the beauty I see in my day to day life. Sometimes that amazing beauty is discovered in a simple bin of onions purchased from a farmers market, or the inspiration is found traveling through the southwest, beachcombing on the Jersey shore, or exploring through Spain. Regardless of where I am, there is always something wonderful to paint. As a result my paintings are mostly created ‘en plein air’meaning, on site and from direct observation, not from a photograph. During very cold winter months I will take my smaller plein air paintings and use several to create a larger piece. The common relationship shared between my plein air and studio paintings is that they were inspired from the simple beauty of our lives.
I feel quite blessed to have a loving family who overlooks my messiness while I am absorbed in a painting and on a quest to make one stunning piece of art.
