This painting has been entered in the High Country Watermedia Society show and has been (reportedly) featured on a local tv show....however, I'm in Florida so will miss the reception tomorrow night!

I made this painting over a year ago but it was soooo busy (yes, busier than this!), so I recently reworked it by painting the background animals blue.

Cheers, Susan

Charlotte's Ark

This is a study for a mural I made several years ago for my great niece, Charlotte (yes, that's her in the center porthole!) Since she has recently moved to a new room to make way for her baby brother, I thought she might like this as a keepsake; it's on it's way!

It's collaged on top of a letter written partly in Chinese from my son, sent from Taiwan years ago....which I then marbled.

Gracie on dog house shingle

Here is our Gracie again; this time painted on a dog house shingle. She is sleeping-in this morning following an full-on romp at our cookout last night!

Let Your Light Shine

This is a painting made per request of my office mates, who wanted something to decorate our new office. I was interested in doing a landscape featuring roots of a tree, but when my father visited and saw all the beautiful clouds in our beautiful wall of windows, he suggested I do a painting of clouds. So, here we have a cloud tree.

There are lots of written messages in this painting as well, which explains the title. I'm not sure this painting is finished yet. But I'm posting it today bec it's Candace's bday!

Valse Brilliante

This is a tiny canvas! Maybe 3" square, maybe not quite that. And I know, a bit hard to see. I'm having trouble getting a close up shot of it....

Anyhow, it's collaged with piano music, birthday candles and a chinese fortune; painted and presented on a dog house shingle.

door collage

I am deleting yesterday's blog because a suspect comment was posted, and I didn't know how to delete it; I thought it might be a virus, and didn't want to risk anyone being infected.

So, here is yesterdays, again; a cheerful collage over a small box......

cheers!

OK, folks; here is my 4th of July painting. Actually, the only thing I painted on the 4th was the house! But I'm back in full swing.

This is acrylic over watercolor.
