Water Lilies - original oil by North Carolina Painter Sue Scoggins

A rest after all that dancing was much needed.  So last night, the dog and I began an abstract painting of water.  A client, last week, has commissioned me to do a sunset water painting to go over her bed.  We brainstormed to come up with her vision for me to put on canvas.  In the meantime it sparked a little water vision of my own.

The dog was not impressed!

Still needs a little work in the top righthand corner
Not sure where this one is going.  24x48 original oil on gallery wrapped canvas.

The Road to New Bern

Once a year, I host an art show and fundraiser for Alzheimer North Carolina.  Alzheimer's Disease is near and dear to my heart and nobody seems to take this dreaded disease seriously.  Honestly, I think most people are in denial of their own mortality.  Alzheimer's disease is one of the most dreaded diseases in that there is no cure and it is devastating in every way thinkable.  Emotionally, financially, mentally, physically, extended family....it goes on for years and years.

My husband was diagnosed in his early 50's.  We are currently in our 14th year and he is now in the late stages.

                           Road to New Bern.  30x30 oil on gallery wrapped canvas. $850
