Exciting News

Filed under: Paintings — Susan Downing-White @ 6:26 pm

morning-pines-copyThe garden needs it, but three gray mornings in a row tend to sink me a little. But I’ve just received a delightful email from Bob Bahr, who is managing editor at American Artist magazine.  Attached to his note was PDF file preview of the article on my paintings that will be in the June 2009 issue.

Being interviewed and reviewing a writer’s comments on my work (by John R. Kemp, who is a regular contributor) was illuminating. I was amazed by how Mr. Kemp took my random thoughts and digressions and handed me back a flowing narrative. A learning experience, his expert feedback and insights like a beautiful tray of hors d’oeuvres. I’m looking at both recent and older paintings with fresh thoughts. It’s an encouraging thing to be recognized, and it’s also a good time to pause and think about what’s next.

On the horizon: an invitation to be in a group exhibition of women photographers at the Mobile Museum of Art as well as a show of my own!
