How about those Fall Colors?

Feeling Jubiliant

Hey art friends!

Before you jump into my latest newsletter I'd love your quick feedback on this survey. Would you be interested in attending at an art sale where I will have all my paintings 15% off? Please let me know your honest opinion!

I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful fall weather and fall colors as much as I am. I wanted to drop you a quick note about what I've been up to lately and what's coming up.

Just Back from Steamboat Springs

I just wrapped up the Steamboat Springs Plein Air Festival and what an incredible week. There's something absolutely magical about painting outdoors in those Colorado mountains with the aspens turning their beautiful yellows, oranges and even reds. The weather was a mix of gorgeous days as well as rain, fog and some very cold mornings.

I managed to complete seven pieces during the festival, ranging from small aspen grove studies to some bigger landscape compositions. The energy of painting outdoors in such a stunning setting made me smile. I leaned into my abstract and more emotional style of painting in lieu of the more traditional plein air realism. The final five paintings that I submitted to the Steamboat Art Museum are featured in this newsletter and will be hanging until November 1st. If you happen to be in Steamboat stop by. Or if you are interested in purchasing one, feel free to contact the Museum.

Peace and Tranquility

Morning Reflections

Boulder Open Studios Update

I know some of you have asked about Boulder Open Studios this year, and I've decided to skip it this time around. Between my travel schedule and the plein air festival and some other projects I'm working on, the timing just wasn't going to work out. But don't worry - I've got something even better planned...

Studio Sale Coming Up!

As I mentioned above in the Survey I'm leaning towards having a sale in November where all my paintings would be 15% off. Mark your calendars for the weekend of November 8th and 9th! I'm hosting a studio sale with all kinds of work - including pieces from Steamboat Springs, some older favorites that need new homes, and maybe a few surprises from the vault. If you would be interested in this sale please let me know by filling out the survey (click on the link) at the top of this newsletter.

It'll be much more relaxed than the usual open studio, and you'll get first dibs on the new mountain pieces before I start showing them elsewhere. Plus, my paintings at Creative Framing Art Gallery in Louisville will be 15% off as well. I'm planning to have some smaller studies and sketches available at great prices.

I'll send out a reminder as it gets closer in time. In the meantime, if there is a painting you have had your eye on, feel free to reach out to me.

What's Next

I'm already looking forward to getting some of these new mountain experiences and more abstracts in my Transitions Series translated into larger studio works.

Thank you as always for following along with the artistic adventures. Your support means everything to this wandering painter!

Hope to see you soon,

Sue

P.S. If you want to see some behind-the-scenes shots from Steamboat, I've been posting them on Instagram. Nothing beats those candid moments of painting as a storm is rolling in.
