MARILYN + THE DEL - pastel by Susan Roden

MARILYN + THE DEL sold - private collector Iconic . . .  no other words for the little lady. Time has rolled on yet she is still as popular as ever.  One of my dearest friends loves Marilyn and so I was commissioned to create a likeness.  It has been over 50 years since the filming of "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn and Tony Curtis.  The film was shot in Coronado which is a peninsula of San Diego and considered one of the finest films ever produced.  Click here to read The Del's historical account of the filming. And thank you so much Alex!

RED POSEYS + PRADO - 12" x 9" landscape pastel by Susan Roden

RED POSEYS + PRADO 12" h x 9 " w pastel glass + gold frame $395 + $20 insured shipping Well the BIG Bash was to begin next year for a full year, for Balboa Park's centennial celebration.  Seemed so very organized, with a formal committee and all. Then . . . . the "s - - hit the fan", as many would say. The committee disbanded with a couple millions spent  and nothing to show for it, except large salaries for the officers.  Now the city is scrambling to come together,  urging for "volunteers" and get the party back on track.  My pastel, "Red Poseys + Prado" reflects on a  sunnier day at the park. Oh . . .  and if you want to volunteer, here's a link for you.
