This is the latest painting I have created. Wow, this took days to do given the detail and the need to work with the brush in one direction to get an even surface. This painting will surely be going to my exhibit in Europe this summer unless it sells before then.
You might notice that the background sparkles. The patterns are done in copper so there is a lovely glow to the painting depending on how you look at it and whether there is light shining on it.
I’m adding a few close ups as the patterns are quite intricate and surprising to look at.
This is the upper right corner.
These creatures are all having a caucus.
This is a 9″ by 12 ” Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board. The largest painting on aqua board I have done to date. It is varnished and framed in a shadow box frame. They would really love to come live in your home.
LOVE the closeups!
Thanks. Sometimes the part seems greater than the whole.
Beautiful Susan! do you get to go to Europe with your paintings?
Oh yes, it is the 6th Annual International Naive Art Festival in Katowice, Poland but we will be in Munich and Vienna as well.
Love the dark background!
I added the copper pattern as the background needed something to punch it up and it is so nice as it reflects light and sparkles when you look at it form certain directions.
Wow! love this! They have to be even more incredible in person. Beautiful!
Thanks so so much Cathy, that makes my day. There is a bit of bling in them with some reflective copper but I am getting more detailed with each painting…and that means it takes longer to work out each one but I am loving this new turn in my work.
Susan, I love this! The added “bling” of copper really makes it come alive. Your work is amazing!
Thanks Shannon. Working on another one today.
Really beautiful Susan! I like how you’ve wallpapered the sky.
: )
Yes I think it was a wall that I papered. Thanks Ed.
Susan, this is stunning!
You make my day Teri.
I love how the jaguar(?) is keeping his eye on the little blue creatures in the lower right corner.
I haven’ t been here in ages! (But now I’m signed up!) I’m used to your work on white backgrounds but this dark background is terrific! Beautiful foliage detail and I love that herd of blue fluffy guys! Congratulations on your show, wow!
Thanks so much Cindy. i am moving into a new phase of painting here.
Am loving your work…..the colors and details….wonderful!
I do like bright!
