LOOKING BACK & AHEAD - Susan Roden

SET OF 3 MODELS
pastel sketches on paper

Since last year and January was so busy for me, I'm 
now reevaluating where I am at. So much has been 
going on between meetings, classes and working, that 
now I've stopped to assess the direction my art is going. 

Do any of you experience this? 

I'm wanting to push out of my safe zone and play 
with varied subject matter and styles. But regardless where
 I'm at, color has always been the primary key which is evident
 with the above sketches created in life drawing sessions. 

So even though I've been quiet over here, there has been 
progress and development which I'll be sharing soon. 

And now . . . I'm skipping along and searching.
