It is my delight to welcome you to Suzanne’s Watercolors! Creating a visual mood in watercolor has become my passion, and I hope that you will enjoy your visit to my gallery.
Why do I paint? I’m not sure that I can fully describe the reasons, but it is absolutely food for my soul. I dream about paintings that I must compose, I see glimpses of color that I must try in my palette, I find wisdom about life in the art and technique of painting.
Visual art, like music, evokes feelings. It is a wonderful challenge and gift to create a painting that captures the essence of a scene, a flower, a combination of elements that makes it truly unique, if just for a moment in time. If the viewer of my work can “hear” the water flowing over rocks in the stream, smell the fragrance of roses, or sway in the tree swing in the field, then I have created something meaningful.
I work primarily in transparent watercolor, so the true beauty of the pigments and white of the paper combine to create fresh, colorful paintings. Have a look around, please sign the guest register, and add your thoughts to the blog. I hope to add images and updates weekly, and am always open to offering some ideas on painting, or “Wisdom from the Water Jar”.
