2012 Art Walk Donation

Floral Happiness

Art Walk Donation

This resplendent floral painting is a donation for the Salida Art Walk held each year in June. I plan on painting 2 pieces, and this is the first one. Last year I painted geese and they were very popular. This year, I wanted one of the paintings for feature one of my pallet knife florals.  This year the Art Walk auction will allow anyone who wants to buy the painting ahead of time for $160.00 to do so and not have to participate in the live auction.

Floral Bouquet with Bunny

Floral Bouquet with Bunny

12 x 20

oil on wood panel

I started this painting yesterday and finished it today.  I love the bright and cheery floral bouquet. I used my pallet knife for all of it, and with thoughts of Spring and Easter in the air, I added the little bunny to nibble at some of the flowers. I used to have a pet dwarf bunny years ago. They make wonderful pets. Mine was a house bunny and he was litter boxed trained also. To purchase this painting, please contact me by e-mail.  Copyright 2012, by the artist, Susan M. Spohn

Coincidentally, I took several photos of flower pots outside a local gallery 2 years ago. The flowers were beautiful and especially against the gallery's freshly painted mint green bricks. Now I will be doing a showing of my floral pieces with this gallery owner and artist, Steph Brady at the Paquette Gallery in the Salida Steamplant starting on March 24th. Amazing how things come together! This painting will be in our upcoming show. Contact me for price and shipping information. If you live nearby, come by and see the show. All are invited to the reception on Saturday, March 24th from 5 - 7 pm.   Copyright 2012, by the artist, Susan M. Spohn
