"old garden" monotype 18" x 24"
Here is one of my monotypes - a print made on a slab of gelatin with printmaking ink - one of a kind print. It is my favorite way of working through ideas for my paintings later. This one is part of a series called "Gardens" This old garden with it's iron gate fencing is representative of this time of year in New Hampshire. Yarrow growing pink finally and the roses giving up the go ... Change in the garden seemed like a good topic for Illustration Friday. Go see more change at Penelope Dullaghan's site. Change is good. Speaking of change ...
Tonight is our new opening - Two Views of Tuscany and Flora and Fauna. Lots of bustling around yesterday, painting a wall or two a fabulous shade of pumpkin, and setting up a window display which we are just thrilled about. Will show photos this weekend of the opening!
The word for the day is ... compost ... as in well, you know, "Compost Happens!" -- direct qoute from professional artist and semipro composter/gardener/lover of all things which grow green: Mary Ellen McKeen.

A very striking and interesting illo!
Congratulations on your gallery's upcoming show! I particularly like Tom Glover's painting. Look at those colours...
And I like the lines in your painting, Susan. Do you keep your roughs in a sketchbook? I'm working through ideas at home today, too.
I love this, I bet it is full of texture in person.
I really love this Susan! The fence gives it a vintage feel, Really beautiful!!!
i love the colors and textures in this piece.
Wow -- this one really works! The gradations, texture, composition -- but most of all the feelings it evokes. This is one of my favourites of yours, Susan.
the colors are perfect behind that fence. a real feel of dusk in the fall.
Nice color and texture, wish you had a close up of this. I realize my monitor doesn't do this justice.
