WATCHING YOU BY SUSAN MEDYN

This leopard was just woken from his nap and is looking at you. The bushes are hiding snakes and the lizard is climbing the tree.
This is my 3rd in a month long project of 30 paintings in 30 days started by Leslie Saeta. I continue to make paintings influenced by the  style of Henri Rousseau. I have 3 large ones and a small one inked in that I am hoping to paint during over the month of January plus several ideas percolating in my head.
This painting is 5 by 7 and is Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board that I varnish and place in a shadow box. It is for sale for $250.

Poppies

I really enjoyed painting today. The  sun was so bright that the nearby water was so reflective that it was hard not to gaze at the sea. The poppy is the symbol for Morpheus the  Greek god of dreams.

This is a 5″ by 7″ Ink and Watercolor on aqua board  for day 5 of Leslie Saeta’s 30 day painting challenge.

This painting is for sale for $250 framed in a shadow box. If you are interested please contact me at susanmedyn(at)cox.net

The Curious Creature or Paws for Reflection by Susan Medyn

I have been working on this piece, The Curious Creature or Paws for Reflection, for the past several days. I wanted to make a painting with a panther in a dense landscape.

It is nice to be able to varnish these works on board instead of framing them under glass.
This painting is 8″ by 10″ and framed in a black shadow box with a light maple exterior. This painting is for sale for $425. I can expedite shipping for Christmas.

GOLDEN THREADS BY VISIONARY ARTIST SUSAN MEDYN

I love the spiral and the spiral of life. This work is dedicated to 2 amazing woman who lost their battle with triple negative breast cancer this past Saturday and Monday, Laura Jane and Susan.
Laura was a painter, landcape designer and has a 17 year old son and Susan has a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children aged 4, 7 and 10. This is a dedicated to the positive energy these 2 woman showed throughout their 18 month battle with cancer. They both loved designer clothes and Louis Viton shoes. So no shoes here but some pretty wild clothing for my creatures.
