2009 Self Portrait

I can't help but to post a few pictures--Of course I may put in one (or two or three) of my granddaughter--I liked the colors of my husband's clothes--what is it with cats and mittens? Do they just find each other?--Right now during these short winter days, I love the sunlight at around 1:30pm. It lights things in a different way. This last picture is my compost bin! It never looked so good. The daily painters are doing a self portrait theme for Wednesday the 7th. I was just barely able to get this one done in time--(school's been out and other obligations come around), but I hope to be posting at a more regular pace soon!
Watercolor, 7"x 7"

I hope you're teaching others how to do this.; January 7, 2009 at 8:06 AM
William R. Moore said...: Susan,
I enjoy your work very much, but especially your self portraits. They are so very excitingly varied in expressiveness, composition and application of paint. This one is no exception and is so fantasticly strong in so many ways. Ditto: Jeff; January 7, 2009 at 8:37 AM

Like you, Susie Q!

Love the pics - especially the all knowing light of love emanating from the compost bucket!

Susan Beauchemin said...: Thanks Jeff, I'm not teaching at the moment--I've done a lot of that over the years, then needed to work for myself--a little balance.

Thanks William, I like self portraits , I was glad the daily painters came up with that theme.

Hi Martha, Yes I was able to pull it off! Time goes so quickly these days!!; January 7, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Brenda York said...: Hi Susan,

Just wanted to let you know that I love your self-portrait--it is just beautiful! I am always drawn to your paintings on Daily Painters but never took the time to tell you. Well, it's a New Year and I'm turning over a new leaf. A breath-taking piece!; January 7, 2009 at 7:57 PM

Susan Beauchemin said...: Hi Brenda, Thanks for the comment! Good to hear from you--happy new year!

In the History of this Blog there are Paintings, as I Was Once a Member of the Daily Painters

If you have the notion to travel back many moons, you can view the paintings, some, of which are still for sale. Here's more info on the paintings: I use 140lb watercolor paper. The paintings are $120. matted with an off white acid free mat to fit a 10"x 10" frame. If you want to purchase the painting framed. I use a black gallery wood frame, 10"x 10" with glass. The price of the painting framed is $160.00 which includes shipping within the USA. (You do not need a pay pal account to use the purchase button located beneath my paintings.) The collaboration paintings are a combined effort between my granddaughter and myself. She puts down the paint and I find the characters and story within. Please check out my LARGER PAINTINGS.
