word about Susan's watercolor art:
Watercolor artist (and oil artist) Susan D. Kennedy has been producing and selling original art in the Atlanta area since 1985. Watercolor painters are well represented on the internet, but Susan's work stands out as the product of decades of time spent working daily in this demanding medium. Her artwork is primarily realistic in style, but Susan's portfolio includes other styles that you would find in a modern art gallery: impressionistic and modert art paintings may be found in her summertime work, and miniatures and collage have also found their way into her professional life.
Contemporary art in America is a dizzying collection of styles and subject matter, and Susan finds that dabbling in many subjects and genres helps to keep her contemporary art fresh; even the crisp realism you see in most of her watercolors benefit from many forays into abstraction and impressionism. Many watercolor artists tend to keep their body of work very consistent, but you will find that Susan's work flows from her eye, not her mind: landscape paintings which point to the sights of a morning drive flow into contemplative abstract watercolor paintings which have veered into expressionism. The next day watercolor flowers and theatrical still lifes may seize her eye and command a foray into the light and transparency of floral artwork. This type of spontaneity in her watercolor art, as well as the use of a many-layered technique is the underlying unity in Susan's portfolio: expression of what she sees - not in a consistent style or subject - but in a consistently passionate use of watercolor paints in their many flowing, blending, blooming, layered ways.
Her watercolor landscapes are the best example of how this painter uses the medium to speak or sing: their development is deft and respectful of the transparency of the paint, their colors fresh and expressive.
We hope that Susan's watercolor painting will speak to you as well: come and look through the pages of Susan's online fine art gallery to get a fresh look at the watercolor art of a passionate and able artist. |
