I Want To Hold Your Hand, 5" by 7" on aqua board. $ 50.00

I am having a lot of fun using a new surface for my paintings. I am making works on aqua board and think I will continue doing this as well as make my watercolors on Arches 300 pound watercolor paper.

This is called “Hair Grows” and is an Ink and Watercolor on aqua board. I like making smaller works. This is 6″ by 6″ and is for sale for $50.00. Thinking that this creature seems to be really mellow. Working on feeling that way too.

Looking for Lunch, 6" by 6" Ink and Watercolor on a 2" deep cradle board.

Well, I was not as pleased with this one. My daughter likes it though so it will have a good home. I have found an interesting book, The Outsider Artist Resource Handbook and although I am not an outsider artist I am self-taught and a visionary artist. I have some works at a group show right now at Rope Walk Gallery in Mattapoisett, MA and at Imperial Gallery in Providence, RI.  I also have several works at The Artful Heart in Arlington, MA. I would love to hear what you think of these new little guys.

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

My friend Karen Raus of http://www.rausphotography.com/  has been using cradle board to do encaustics utilizing her photography and paintings. I was interested in working on a surface other than paper so ordered some cradle boards from good ole Jerry’s Artarama and this is my first finished one. I love some of the mottling I can get using this material and am now working on several more.

This is a small 5″ by 7″ painting that needs no frame. It is for sale for $75.00 and if interested contact me at susanmedyn@cox.net

I am looking forward to working with this new board and have some 2 inch deep ones that I am thinking of doing a fish series on.

This weekend we were at a  Memorial Service for a wonderful man and musician, Richard Lainhart. He has made some of the most incredible music and you can hear some of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7NMc_FQdts and at other links on YouTube and on the web. Richard was such a kind and gentle man. His wife, Caroline Meyers, was filled with such calm and composure at the Memorial  that one was able to feel the serenity and love regarding the life of this man who left our world much too soon.

Another reminder to spend each day living and loving.

I wonder if he'll notice me?

Such a cute little Valentine’s Painting…about 4″ by 4″…$20.00.

Enjoy the day, it’s what we have!

I have a piece in the 100th Anniversary Members Exhibition at the Newport Art Museum

This photo is from the Newport Art Museum’s Facebook page……I have a piece in this exhibit.

I had to laugh when I saw where they placed my painting. I have been called a visionary artist but I jokingly call myself an outsider artist, not because I am an outsider artist but because my work so often does not find a place in the shows. I wasn’t with the animals, I wasn’t with the fish, I was outside the galleries in the foyer.

I have been working on several new paintings but haven’t had time to properly photograph them. I will post them soon.

Although I do need a new camera desperately and hope to get one in the next few months.

I love working in my studio. Yesterday each time I looked up I saw the wind wildly making waves on the Sakonnet but the sun was shining so nicely.

A few of my works are in this online juried show.

Happy New Year

I want to wish everyone a wonderful 2012 filled with small gifts and love. I have had quite a journey in 2011 and am looking forward to working  a tad less, painting more and enjoying my family. We have had so many changes as a family this year…our daughter getting married, our son going to college, moving to a new house, losing loved ones, David finding a new job, me gaining better health, and my office mate getting ready to move to Alaska. I will miss her terribly, but know she needs to move forward and she is excited about relocating to the west coast. My sister is also taking me on a trip to Hawaii in less than 2 weeks and I am so excited for that.

Thanks to all of you who have kept up with my blog. I really appreciate your support and comments.

HYDRA SYMDRA,Original sold at open studios. But I do have 5" by 7" Cards and 11" to 14" matted Gicleés for sale with same image. I have added a gicleé and card shop section to my blog as I find I get very attached to certain paintings and then they are sold. I never posted this very cool Ink and Watercolor painting in my fish series and realized it deserves to be seen. Check out my new section and I'd love to get some feedback on it.
