MRS. CROW'S SPRING VISION

30 x 30

Oil on Board

I have been working on this painting for a couple days. This story painting came about while browsing thru some reference photos. I had a photo of this crow that I wanted to put into a painting, but I was also longing for springtime since it has been unusually cold for December in these parts, and I was looking at all these wonderful springtime flowers. My imagination took over and  Mrs. Crow became my wistful self enjoying a beautiful spring garden. This painting was created using just brushes (unusual for me...)  I will have to do my next painting with the pallet knives. 'Mrs. Crow's Spring Vision' is painted on 1/4 inch board that is attached to a wood box frame (looking similar to a gallery wrapped canvas) and is for sale for $875.00.

Oil on Paper and Board

Here is another experiment with oil on paper and board in a more realistic manner. Again you can see all the under lying texture created by using the paper. And you can see where pieces of the paper show through the oil paint. I am on the fence as to whether or not this really works with this painting. But it turned out to be a cute scene with all the chickens and the sheep. The reference photo of the sheep was the main inspiration for this painting, the chickens were just support players.  This painting is for sale for $150.00.  Copyright 2012, by the artist, Susan M.

Booth Photo at the Las Cruses Art Show

This is a booth photo of my art at the New Mexico Las Cruces Art Show last weekend. The paintings are larger than they look, because I have 8 foot tall show panels. The front floral diptych is 5 ft in length. My next art show will be in June in downtown Denver, CO

A local TV station did some interviews and shot some footage of the show. My booth is at the end of the clip, this was when I was still getting my booth set up for the day, so I wasn't paying attention to the person shooting this film.

Most dog breeds look to me like they could be entirely different species of animals. It is amazing how much variety there is among dogs. Here is a big dog, who has a great character face.
