Country Music, a Sunny Day and INKS - by North Carolina painter, Sue Scoggins

 It's a sunny day and I'm bebopping to country music and pouring liquid inks across a canvas to see what happens.  This will be the underpainting of some sort of water landscape.  Stay tuned.

This is a hand on INKS

Having so much fun pouring liquid acrylic ink across a 36x36 canvas. Notice the shoes!

Yellow BIrd - By North Carolina Painter Sue Scoggins

Ok.  So the ice has had me housebound for 3 days now.  The first two days were spent doing collage work.  I AM PAINTED OUT!  So today, I'm blogging.  The recent paintings are being painted for a yellow bird series.  Yellow Bird, rested on the hand of my husband when he was first diagnosed with Alzheimer disease.  Yellow Bird, flew down from a tree, lit at this feet while he was sitting on the front stoop.  Jerry gently held out his hand and Yellow Bird hopped on.  Really!  I saw it!

Help me name them.

Going back to happy, light hearted paintings for a while.  Loving the new free style.  Bold brush strokes and bright color.  Happy!  Happy!  Happy!

Stampede

Into the night, I've been painting these horses.  Not finished, but getting there.  The one if the front looks a little weak, while the one in the rear looks a bit strong.  Hmmm.  We'll see where it goes from here.  Stampede.  24x48  oil.

Painted Horses

Don't know if any of you readers know, but I'm heavily involved in the Alzheimer journey.  My husband was diagnosed in his early 50's.  He is living in a memory care facility now.  He is 65. I often get calls and emails from the newly diagnosed.  It stirred up such emotion in me...to know the road they are about to travel.  More people are being diagnosed every day.  I'm angry and frustrated that not enough is being done to stop it.

Back to Blogging

Ok.  Here I am...back to blogging after taking about a year off...don't know what happened.  I suppose I had my hands wrapped around brushes instead of typing on my MAC.  This time I hope to do a better job.  I might even try to post a video or two.  With that said.....here goes my first post.

There are so many things to paint.  I can hardly stand it...but in the spring and fall the wildflowers  along the highways are magnificent! ( courtesy of the NCDOT Wildflower program)  Those images and colors get stuck in my head and just have to come out.
