I have been remiss
Such a long time between posts - I sincerely apologize.
Today I will show you two paintings of wild animals in winter.
One of the things that has kept me busy is that my husband and I and our two children are all planning a vacation together in Europe in May. I am very excited as I have not been to Europe in quite a long time. I did spent two weeks skiing in the Alps when I was in my 20's and have not been back since. My daughter is currently on a three year assignment in Amsterdam so my husband, our son and I are all flying over to visit her and meet her new Dutch friends and co-workers. We will, of course, get in as much sight seeing as possible and will also make some time for a few days in Rome! Doesn't it sound wonderful? I can hardly contain myself!

These two paintings are wonderful Susan. You have been missed...I hope you take lots of reference photos in Europe!!!! Enjoy your time away with your family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilda, I have concentrating on animals and sea creatures for a coastal Maine show in June. I am longing to get back to my horses though!
DeleteI have missed your art, Susan so this is a real treat. Not only do I love the paintings, but I adore the title on the fox one. Now I am wondering WHAT has he done to make him "excessively clever!?"
ReplyDeleteI am excited for you all on your upcoming trip to Europe. You will have a marvelous time.
Thanks, Julie - I like searching for interesting titles although I am not always successful. I am leaving for Europe in 17 days - but who's counting!
DeleteThat is EXCITING!!!!! I would be un-containable, too. :) I wish you all a wonderful time together!!!
ReplyDeleteYour lynx is powerful. I love your brush-strokes in his fur, and the background is perfect for him.
The fox reminds me so much of your horses - strong yet playful. His coat and the background colors are beautiful.
You've done IT again :)

Many thanks, Kathryn! With Europe on my mind, its hard to concentrate these days!
DeleteAhh, Rome... The most romantic city in the world apparently! How exciting!! Beeeeeautiful paintings by the way! As always, full of energy!
ReplyDeleteRome is the favorite city of my daughter and she is excited to show it to us. I am also looking forward to some authentic Italian food!
DeleteTwo wonderful paintings, Susan, good to see you back! I wish you and your family a fabulous time in Europe! Amsterdam and Rome.... so exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. I am eager to begin packing!
DeleteOh how I love the way you use color , two gorgeous paintings, glad to see you back again . And yes, sounds really great with the trip to Europe, so many things to see in both Amsterdam and Rome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice comment - thank you so much, Jane. I tried for color to convey a soft wintry uncertainty in the lynx painting and a more vibrant excitement for the fox. Thank you again.
DeleteSusan! I so love all your wonderful art and fantastic blog posts! Still out here enjoying your great blog! All the best!
