Welcome to My New Blog

Hi and Welcome to my New Blog!

I am creating this blog as a means to connect to fellow artists and art patrons. I am a fine artist, working currently in acrylic paints.

This recent painting is called "Memories of Mexico", 24 x 30" on stretched canvas.

It was painted from a photograph that I took last year during my winter vacation. The pot of cactus was on a landing just below the apartment that we were renting. I loved the strong bright colors of the brick walls and the tall over-flowing cactus. I especially liked the Mexican blanket hanging in the window as a curtain. It made me laugh as I have the exact blanket on my couch at home - one that I bought years ago on a trip to Cancun.

A lot of my paintings are bright and bold in colour.

Great painting Susan. I have followed your work for years. Your work continues to get better all the time.

Heard you were featured on the cover of the Beacon this month.

Hello Susan. I was just looking at your Vol.1-Issue 1 of Island Arts Magazine which I got at Rollin Art Centre in Port Alberni. I too am just starting an artists blog due to my Webmaster being super busy and not able to update my website.Thought I would follow your site as well. Best of success.
