| “thanks, Oscar” (detail) |
By Susan C. Price
“thanks, Oscar” was born of a painting that was lifeless, and did not “work.” i placed a loosely painted version of a family-on-vacation-in-farmland photo on top of that and...agonized, painted, painted over, and voila!

ok, i am also showing you the photo it is based on...which is pretty funny in my book (why is my father wearing a tie on vacation? and how did my brother score a cool straw hat? and what is mom doing in a dress? i remember the fabric…she sewed all of her own and my clothes....) ahhhh...memories

This is absolutely gorgeous! Belongs in a museum. I love Susan's process. I have never met an artist less precious about her work. It's a rare treat to hear her on this topic, albeit briefly: she's a doer of art, not a talker. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSusan, that family photo strongly suggests that YOU were the older sibling, but I believe that your brother was (and is) two or three years your senior. I guess you were simply more mature. Does that still hold true? <smile>
ReplyDeleteYoo-hoo, Susan, are you there? Thinking of you this morning, as I eat my oatmeal and continue to wonder in amazement that 4.7 inches of rain fell in our yard last night, between about 6:30 and 10:30.
