Allie (aka "Smooooze")

Here is another commissioned piece;  Allie (aka "smooooze"):  it was a challenge capturing her sweet expression, but with the help from her owner, we nabbed it!

Cows in a field

OK, so this is the 3rd painting I've made of this configuration of cows.

  Many years ago when I lived on a farm in Kentucky, these Charolais cows would stand in a field outside my house looking at me JUST LIKE THIS!

 So I snapped their picture and made my very first painting ever.  This was AFTER I graduated with my degree in art.  Which was in sculpture since I was Terrified of painting. 

If I can find a copy of this painting, I will post it.  It was pretty sweet, I have to say.  (and, it sold!)

Several decades later, I painted the same configuration, in a newer style with collage.  (also...sold!)

So this spring, I decided to give it a new go.  And here it is!  This time in acrylic.  20" x 20"

cheers,
Susan

So here it is, showcasing the originals for Goodnight Boone, and also a collection from the Painted Stitch, and of course, Alphabet Squares.  ( I took down the collection of prints hanging at Blue Ridge Pediatrics;  thank you!)...
Plus, One Very New Piece....stay tuned!

A is for Angel


And also for Aila;  welcome to the world!

I planned to paint a regular rainbow  here, but  right after I painted in the rainbow shape in white, I  witnessed an actual radiant WHITE rainbow!  It was gorgeous and so holy. 

(these, I later learned are sometimes called "cloud bows" or "fog bows")

So it had to stay white.  But I gave it some music from the Messiah, and some words....grace and glory.

Cheers,
Susan
