Decisions

Decisions
7 x 7
Oil on Board
Decided to venture away from the animal paintings for a day, and try some paintings of the human variety. Living out west I am always on the look out for ranch hands and cowboys to paint. I liked this reference photo because their point of interest is off the canvas, and it leaves you wondering what the 'decision' is about.  This painting is for sale for $100.00 and includes free shipping in the Continental USA.

Three Days Health

Three Days' Health
7 x 7
Oil on Board
This is a very thickly painted piece that I painted mainly with a pallet knife. It started off as a still life, but since one of the apples was needed for lunch, I took a quick photo and continued to paint, munching on my apple. I don't think I am meant to be a still life painter. Anyway, the 3 apples and 3 garlic cloves made a nice composition. This painting is for sale for $85.00 and this price includes free shipping in the Continental USA. Please contact me by e-mail for more information: susanmspohn@gmail.com

Aspen Field

Aspen Field
7 x 7

Today's painting was inspired by a snapshot I took this fall of some aspen trunks in a field. The light hitting the trees was strong on their trunks and the faded grasses looked soft and airy so the aspens seemed to be supported by air alone.
