Missed the Regatta in Cariacou....

but that doesn't stop the work boats from showing up in my studio.  Sorry, can't help it.

Here are some pics of new works right out of the studio--I do believe they are dry.

Because you have to paint what you love, that's why.

So here is a wall of sailing paintings at my gallery, Art and Soul.  The newest is the diptych upper right corner.  Working Boat races at Grenada Sailing Festival.  As I have said many times, when I stop loving it, I will stop painting it.

Susan Mains Art School

Ok, I know the title is ambitious, but after years of people asking for art lessons, I think I have found a way to do it.  I have started a video demonstration of how I paint, and all I ask is that you give me feedback.

That means helpful comments, not necessarily about the quality of the video.  This is a beta version, and what I am interested in knowing is if I am communicating well enough that you can follow the instructions.

So, watch the You tube video, subscribe, and follow the playlist.  Let me know what you think!

Happy painting.   By the way, you can get materials at Art and Soul at Spiceland Mall.

Sail on Grenada!
