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.

And thank you so much Alex!

Sold! GLOW, by Susan Roden

GLOW 11" x 14" soft pastel SOLD - private collector So nice this pastel went to a wonderful home! Now I'll live in my memories of the Petrified Forest National Park, where I did a residency and was the inspiration for this painting. Thank you!

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past. Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have enriched me greatly in so many ways. Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with, but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.

SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!
