    1. It was great fun coming up with the idea and pulling it all together. The painting is mostly high key and I am not that happy with the photo but it was the best shot I could get.

  2. I think you should say (sing), "These are a few of my favorite things..."

    1. I wish I could put it into words, Kathryn, but the best I can say is that I am almost always thinking of my next painting and the idea kind of evolves and then appears. I wish I had time to get to all of them - I have so many on the back burner.

  5. Hi Susan. Just stopping by and you never fail to amuse me! Where can I go to see this race? Wouldn't that be amazing to go watch? And what can I say about your large lady on the bench..? I actually laughed out loud! Who can't love the humor in your work? Keep having fun with that magic brush and colors. I picture you laughing out loud as you create these amazing pieces. It must be so de-stressing.

  6. Ballerinas and horses! How so very cool! I hope the rider doesn't get distracted and take a tumble! Had to take a second look to make sure I did see the dancing ladies! Nice!
    Love seeing the two together! So very beautiful, odd in the best sense of the word, love the tone and light! So much more. Always make me smile! Thank you again Susan!
    Bravo! Bravo!
