2 GREAT SUMMER CLASSES by Susan Roden

CLASSES, TEACHING + PAINTING

I have been so busy teaching as well as painting!

Above are two abstract pastels created for demos during

two classes at Oasis / ABQ.

On the left was created at the first class in May and the

right was from this past week. The classes were learning

of representational and non-representational abstracts.

They had vases of florals for inspiration.

Now I have upcoming eight-week classes at the New Mexico

Art League on the dynamics of strokes and substrates.

Fun, fun, fun!

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!
