'Elegance is an Attitude'

My Garden Chair, was painted from our back yard.
we have 2 chairs and a table in the back yard, and I used it for this painting. It is watercolor but I drew in a back ground, and painted in an under-painting first.

Their shows are always so nice. A lot of people come to the opening.  They also have an awesome miniature show with entries as far away as England!

Happy Fourth of July!

I love flags, and have painted several, and have sold several, and given several away! Our flag is so special-What it stands for. 
This painting is watercolor and  was done from looking at the one in my art room.  My art room is decorated with flags,and the pledge of allegiance.  The window belonged to my Grandmother from East Texas. There is no telling how old this window is.  I folded up a flag and put behind it, and it hangs in my art room today.
We should treasure our country and our freedoms. God Bless America.

2012 Wyoming Watercolor Show

New Interior

Last year I didn't get into the Wyoming Watercolor Show, but this year, I had 2 paintings accepted.

We saw this old car in Ft.Worth back in the spring, and I met this fisherman in Florida.  He let me take his photo. He actually tried to pose for me.

The Fisherman

Kenneth Powell

Kenneth was in the 31st NCR (Naval Construction Regiment) Seabee Band, during the Viet Nam era.
he went in November 1966 and got out in March 1970. He got out 9 months early because the war was winding down.  He played at many many parades, including the Rose Parade, and played for Bob Hope, and many other celebrities.  He was stationed in Port Hueneme, California, and I got to be with him the whole time.  We were very blessed.  He traveled a lot...they went to Hawaii three times, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, etc.  Their main job though, was to play for the battalions leaving for Viet Nam, and the battalions coming home from Viet Nam. He let me go with him a couple of times when an airplane was coming in, but he never let me go for the departures. It was very depressing for him.  To go and play 'Anchors Away' (Aweigh is in some songs) and see them leave, knowing some wouldn't be back. I am very proud of the time he spent honoring those soldiers and our beautiful America.

Ken will be 66 tomorrow, July 1st, and he went in the Navy in '66. So that is why the 66!

This collage painting was done using a 43 year old newspaper clipping that someone sent us before we came home. I wish we had the original!  There is an airplane in the back ground and I may add it.

By the way, For those who don't know, the reason I sign my paintings Suzy 'Pal'  is because Ken always signed his notes and letters, 'Pal'

T-Bone

T-Bone is our daughters Jack Russel mix. He is one precious little dog, but very hateful at times! He bites anybody he doesn't know, plus people he DOES know.  Keri ask me a while back to do his portrait, so here it is! He was being nice when she took this picture!  It is 12x12, using magazine pages.
