SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

A DREAM   4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel white mat, glass + black frame $150 - tax and shipping inclusive Some days are hazy . . . with pastel colors floating,  amidst my daydreams. So lost in thought . . . and cocooned within the  subtle hues. It's a day of soft travels . . . so comforting!

A SLANTED DAY 18"h x 10"w glass, burnt pallet frame   A SLANTED DAY is one of the pastels including  within the Oasis Exhibit, on view till April 26th. The view is a slice of the Taos Pueblo. The paintings range from Southwest landscapes and  skies to sunflower still lifes.  Please click here for additional information and viewing times.

TURBAN  pastel on paper Getting back to my routine - sure feels good!  (& unbelievable 1/2 the month has already gone by!)  So today I went to life drawing and struggled away for 2 hours on a full body image that was going  nowhere. Then jammed this out the last hour. 

THE SHROUD pastel & gold leaf SOLD Just received yesterday a phone call from the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club that my painting has sold!  So thankful for the Patrons and Supporters  of art. Everyone of you enable artists to continue with this profession. 

DAWN OF PUBERTY 13"h x 12"w pastel Friday was the opening night for the 9 performances of  DIPTYCH  at the Aux Dog Theatre ! This is the world-premiere  and created specifically for the X-Space of the Aux Dog Theatre.  The storyline created by Mark Dunn, charters the life relationship of a Mother & her artistic Daughter. The  mother is represented by actor Kathleen Welker and the  daughter is portrayed through my 32 pieces of pastels and  mixed media art. Below are some scenes from this past weekend and the  public's reception has been fantastic! 

DROPPING COLORS 12"h x 11"w pastel A new year . . . with the past going out with a blaze!  Hope, support and love . . .  to each and everyone! 

A MIST + CLOUDS 14"h x 11"w pastel glass + gold frame Tomorrow is the opening reception at Oasis / Albuquerque . Above, A MIST + CLOUDS, is one of the pieces on exhibit.  Getting my tap-dancing shoes on for the event (just kidding!). But will be dressed nice.  Hope to see you there!

THE SHROUD 14"h x 11"w pastel + gold leaf Tomorrow, January 8th signifies the opening of Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club 's 122nd Annual Open Juried Exhibition.

5 GOLDEN 25"h x 18"w pastel Framing, inventorying, labeling, packing + gearing up  to deliver art. Most do not realize the process in  preparing artwork for an exhibit. So much more than  just creating a piece.  It's all a labor of love! 5 GOLDEN is one of the many pieces included within my solo show, Subtle Nuances: Pastel Paintings by  Susan E Roden, at Oasis / Albuquerque. The exhibit opens  Thursday, January 10th with an artists reception - yes,  I'll be there! - from 5 - 6:30pm.  Additional information available by clicking here .
