MEMORIES OF YESTERYEAR

VANISHING

10" x 8" pastel + gold leaf

PRIVATE COLLECTION

The start of a new year stimulates celebrations,

memories, good wishes and reflections of the past.

Regardless of one's religion or beliefs, death affects

all. I'm posting this painting of mine not for it's religious

view, but because it was created while my father was

on his deathbed. Mortality begged me to consider my

views. My father was the first of my parents to die

and his passing saddened me greatly.

This new years I face the realization that both of my

parents, as well as my in-laws who I loved dearly have

died. So in between the joyous celebrations, please

take a moment to remember the loved ones that have

passed and smile.

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!

BLAZING RED

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!

SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!
