SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

DARK BLUE NIGHT 3" x 3" acrylic on wood  1 1/2"  deep black floater frame  SOLD - Private Collector Well I must have been really partying over here, for just now  realized there is only one blog posted throughout December. What???!!!  So I am posting a sweet, petite acrylic and offering at a  special price. And by petite, this little one is only 3" square.  Please note, that this little one could be hung on the wall or set upon a tabletop or window ledge since it's in a deep-set floater frame.

Please to announce that I have two pastels included  within Randy Higbee Gallery's 10th Annual  6" Squared Exhibition  and Sale .   Opening is Saturday, December 7th from 6 to 9pm at 102 Kalmus Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.  Randy's openings are grand affairs, so I encourage anyone in the vicinity to attend. Unfortunately I  can not this year but will be there in spirit and  artwork.  And there are 533 oils and 75 pastels and watercolors, so pleased I am 2 of the 75!

YELLOW SIDE VIEW  pastel on wood circle This is a small pastel drawn from life a week ago.  And I decided the last 40 minutes to paint this.  Such a stoic, beautiful model!

PURPLE + YELLOW SKETCH 14" x 11" pastel on paper Last Friday I went to life drawing. Just love the  time engrossed in observing another's  mannerisms. I'm also curious on what the model's actually thinking while posing. Are they at a far-away place, traveling to another location and time?
