SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

Tonight I am packing and will be leaving bright and early to catch the ferry to Catalina Island. I will be painting wild flowers in the inner Island and gratefully transported by the Catalina Conservancy . This arrangement was coordinated by my gallery, Tirage A rt of Pasadena. Tentatively there are arrangements for a group show of the paintings by the participating Artists in November 2010. Have my fingers crossed ( You know, it's hard to type with them crossed! Didn't know I was so talented.) that I will capture some wonderful images. Really excited about this get-a-way and will let everyone know this Friday how it went when I return. Bye!

CLOAKED NIGHT multi-media - 7" doll / 8" cape - wall mount Above is one of my dollies for the upcoming show, Frayed . The doll's head and arms are mounted onto a block of wood with a sunset executed in oil pastels. She is adorned in a sheer cape embellished with miniature silver crystals and will be mounted on the wall.

DOWNFALL pastel- 11"h x 14"w SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Believe it or not, I have been painting even with all  my racing around - hard to believe, but true. I usually work simultaneously on about 9 paintings mounted on a wall  easel, with different due dates for each. May be a delusion, but I feel  I do not overwork the pastels when I work on many. Much of my current focus is work for my solo June show, Frayed , to be held at Ray Street Custom Framing and Gallery . The work will be a collection of reconstructed baby dolls and pastels, with the premise that there is always a glimmer of hope on the horizon. This sunset Downfall, is one of the pastel pieces to be included. Hope you enjoy the view!
