Student Painting(leave comments for Susan at the end of her gallery)

"I'm one of the newbies among the students, hard at work on my first "real" painting. Kathy was my instructor in a drawing class I took last fall at Assabet. She impressed me then with her knowledgeable yet relaxed approach, and her positive, "of course, you can do it!," attitude is just the encouragement I need as I learn the process of painting with oils. I look forward to sharpening my skills and producing work that I will be proud of. My plan is to focus on nature and outdoor subject matter." - Susan Fly

  • From Quinci S:  This is so impressive! I'm glad I got to see it in-person this morning! (And I adore Higgs, too.)
  • From Nel L:  Susan, you are amazing...so talented! Have a beautiful Christmas, my friend.

  • From Louanne Glass:  Dear Susan, You are amazing. I enjoyed your outdoor pieces along with the indoor stills of the flowers, the deep colors making each selection were outstanding to the eye. Maybe the picture of the front door was my favorite, you show a lot of talent not as a newbie but more like an artist that sells their work and famous. Keep up this so called new hobby and enjoy every minute of it,
  • From Marlene W:  Great job!I know you worked on this for a long time but it is a wonderful piece. Congratulations. Will see you in mid- April.
