Oil Painting-
Still Lifes
"Appreciation of art has always been an integral part of my life and an underpinning in all my career endeavors. From minoring in art history in undergraduate school; to becoming an international flight attendant spending much of my layover time in some of the world’s greatest museums and marketplaces; to becoming a marriage and family therapist and approaching couples therapy as an art form rather than a science..........art has been the centerpiece as well as the connection between my heart, mind, and soul. As a parent, I applied my love of art by painting life size wall murals in my children’s bedrooms of their latest interest du jour from Sesame Street to Star Wars.
Now as an empty nester, I can finally exercise this life long passion for art "my way" with painting affordable oils on canvas primarily in the forms of still life and landscapes. I love to play with light and shadow in my work to highlight small, intimate details that might otherwise go unnoticed by a casual...

Approaching the New Year with Hope and a Clean Slate!
2007-12-30
I hope everyone enjoyed this holiday season and you are looking forward to the promise of a new year with hope and the opportunity to start fresh with a clean slate.
Do you have any new years resolutions made yet? Are they realistic or idealistic? I know I usually start off with the best of intentions in making and keeping my resolutions; but pretty quickly they fall by the wayside of impossible to maintain. I've found in post new year's resolution autopsies that I over committed myself to idealistic change rather than taking a more "kind to self" approach with personally manageable and nurturing change.
Therefore, I intend to approach this new year a bit differently with resolutions that make me happy rather than make me thin or fit. I will not diet, but I will be "a bit more" conscientious in determining what I eat on a consistent basis. I will not go to the gym (unless I really want to with a friend), but I will find ways to stay fit while going about my daily life, even if means parking further away when running errands or taking the stairs whenever possible.
Most importantly though for my mental health and well being, I resolve this year of 2008 to do more of what nurtures my soul, and that is precisely finding more time to paint. Check out my online gallery website at www.sunshine-gallery.com to follow my resolution of creating more artwork in 2008!
May we all have the best of new years ever in 2008 as we find the time to do what nurtures our souls!
Artfully yours,
Susan
