Time Goes By...

I've been so busy with the ongoing renovation of my kitchen and bathroom that I've had no time or energy to post or read blogs or even think of doing any art.  In the evening I am exhausted and so I have been relaxing by sitting in front of the tv and watching a wonderful art history series.  The presenter, William Kloss, is an associate with the Smithsonian.  He is a great presenter and brings art history alive with his amazing knowledge all delivered with passion and a twinkle in his eye.  We have been watching The History of European Art which is one of his video series available at The Teaching Company.  If you are interested in art history do check him out. 

Some time ago I posted a photo of this painting called "Swinging at Club 135. I guess it was the word "swinging' in the title that attracted a number of posts from anonymous posters who thought my blog was a suitable place to sell penis enlargement and sexual aids etc. Pretty funny I thought!

The Golden Saxophone is Finished

I feel this Saxophone painting is finished. It's rather busy with all the patterned underpainting showing through but I think it makes it more interesting, in fact, I have enhanced the pattern in many places by backpainting around and into it. You can see pictures of the process, right from the start, in previous posts. If you like musical paintings check out my web site http://www.susanneclark.com/ and go to the musical page where you will find lots of cello and saxophone paintings with a few pianos thrown in.
