This painting is done from a photo of the first day of school in the early 1950's. Since I've been thinking about the old friends, two of them have contacted me. Isn't that strange? I've called it "The Baby Boomers."

Monday People

Teaching in NYC last week, I got a few photos of these people. The safety vests and everyone else in black made for a dazzling, out of my series, painting subject.
But never one to leave a fine painting alone I tipped the people by cutting the paper cockeyed and making a few leaning marks in the figures. A more dynamic painting.

Friends in High Places

I started this painting with my title/concept and it grew from there. Painting idea upon idea, the mystery of this painting is just beginning to reveal itself.

Don't Turn Back

I have been tinkering with this painting for a year, and, thanks to Miami artists, the idea of a phone pole with traffic signs on it has created a whole new dimension to my street sign motif. Just think of the commentary that I can introduce to future paintings!

Fresh Paths in Watercolor Workshop

Thank you Brevard Watercolor Society, in Melborne FL vicinity, for a great workshop. I had a wonderful time and appreciate all of your hard work. Keep in touch. Sue

Crazy Kids

Yesterday I sold "The Optimist and the Pessimist" (the painting of the girl jumping off a dock) to a woman who said she used to RIDE HER BIKE full speed off of their dock! We were all crazy kids after all.Great to be able to relate to people on such a visceral level.
