2011 Longmont Studio Tour

For those of you who couldn't make it to my studio during the Longmont Studio Tour, here are photos of my studio all dressed up as a gallery instead of a working studio!

It was a beautiful weekend and I could keep my studio door open the entire time.

As you walked through the door on the right you saw this part of my studio.
On my easel is "Sun Dog Clouds"
with "Colorado Clouds" on the wall behind (top) and
"Sky Raga Reverie" (below).
On the floor is my eight foot painting, "Sky Raga #1 & #2".
It's on the floor because I don't have an eight foot wall in the studio
to hang it on.

Directly across from the door to my studio, I displayed my selection
of latest work from the summer.  Many are plein air work that I
created on location in Boulder County.
(Top)  "Cloud Pirouettes"
(Second Row, left to right) "Seaside Reverie", "Walden Pond", "Rocky View"
(Third Row, left side) "Spring Green" (Top) & "Cloud Reverie" (Bottom)
"Mellow Marsh" (Middle)
(Third Row, right side)  "Waiting for Godot" (Top) and "Bike Night Full Moon" (Bottom)
(Fourth Row or Bottom Row)  "Cape Cod" (in black and white)
I guess I should have made the rows straight.
One painting is missing.  I sold it!

I also had cards,  prints (framed and unframed) and my new 2012 Calendar  for sale.

Here is the artist statement for the exhibition:

Golden sunlight skips along the clouds singing songs of joy and the blue sky delightfully embraces the dance. 

Within the three groupings of oil paintings, Suzanne shares her contemplation of clouds, sunlight and sky; and invites the viewer to look above the trees, around the corners of buildings and over the highways to the magnificent world above us.

“Raga” is a Sanskrit word implying “color, hue, beauty, melody”. In musical terms, it implies “a melodic framework for composition and improvisation”.   Suzanne’s golden clouds dance in the sky and sing songs of joy—a true raga.

Quentin Young, Longmont Times-Call , describes Suzanne’s work as, “The paintings sometimes have the look of a Rothko color field painting.  Suzanne’s goal is not to depict a scene.  It’s to depict her contemplation of a scene.”

Sky Ragas Solo Show at the Old Firehouse Gallery

I hung the show on Tuesday with the help of two friends, Annette Coleman and Mike Reynolds.  And, then, we went out to lunch!  Here are some photos of the process.
