Long Awaited

Long Awaited $600 framed

Ink and Watercolor on Aquabord

I enjoyed making a commission for the year of the wood sheep so much that I decided to a do a second variation on the theme.

I love seeing the little lamb arriving in an airy basket. Babies bring such joy.

I recently received an Assets for Artists grant via Rhode Island State Council for the Arts. Today I attended a fabulous workshop they offered. I am developing a new business plan. I am energized and eager to tackle new projects and will be doing so with the support of this grant.

Our skies have been fabulous recently and I am gratefully admiring each evenings sunset.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

FLOWERS ANYONE?

I have been working up a series of funny bunny paintings that I can also use for repeating patterns. I’m fond of the two cats floating in the poppies and the Egyptian styled leaves on the lower right.

6″ x 6″ Ink and Watercolor on Aquabord $100.

The World Goes Round and Round, 6″ by 6″ Watercolor on Aqua Board

2013 brings a painting challenge that I am participating in.

It is Leslie Saeta’s 30 days of painting challenge for the month of January. If you go to her blog you can take a look at all the artists who are participating. Their new work will be posted daily.

I have started off with this this slice of my world but as I am taking a painting class this month, I will not be sticking with a theme. Rather I will be painting what I know and then what I am practicing. Taking on this challenge feels right for the New Year.

To purchase this painting just click on the Paypal button below.

Flower Power with a little help from my friends.

Flower Power

I have been reworking this painting with some advice from Don Cadoret, Kathrine Lovell, and David Formanek and here it is! I found a lovely wooden shadow box to frame it in and it really makes this work pop out. I am busily trying to finish several Henri Rousseau influenced paintings for The Art Stable Gallery Westport’s Holiday Open House on Sunday November 18th from 2-5PM.

All 8 artists will be present with lots of new work so this will be a great afternoon to stop on by.

This is a 6″ by 6″ Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board and is for sale for $200.00 framed in a shadow box.

Kind of knocks my socks off.

Sold.

Tough Bird

My friend Kathrine Lovell lent me a book on various chickens and I liked the pose of this one. I love the look on his face. He seems to be saying “Don’t mess with me”. I have the feeling I have raised a chicken like this before. He wouldn’t go in his house, he strutted across the road in Arlington, MA, he slept on the top of a chair on our porch and he led the rest of the birds down the road to meet Alex as he got off the school bus every day.

Chickens though aren’t destined for long lives and one day a mama fox snatched him away.

This guy is painted on 2″ deep cradled aqua board and is 6″ by 6″ and for sale for $150 plus $10.00 shipping. If you are interested please contact me at susanmedyn@cox.net.

I am busy making these chicks for upcoming South Coast Artist Open Studios August 18th and 19th. It is a great weekend to come on down and tour the many artists studios in this lovely coastal area. www.southcoastartists.org for more information.

Hydra Symdra

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.
