Still Life with Tangerines

Susan — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:50:51 +0000

This new one took a ridiculous amount of time, mostly because I was catching up on a lot of non-art stuff at the same time. Nevertheless, it is finally done and I can get on with some smaller ones. I created this with a show this spring in mind. It is acrylic on canvas and measures 18″x36″.

Good Morning Pasadena

This still life is the very first time I have used this great vintage tablecloth in a set up. I wanted to emphasize the San Gabriel Valley area so I will have to do another to get the rest in. I am submitting this piece into a regional themed show and finished it up just under the deadline. Sadly the cinnamon raisin roll was far too stale for consumption by the time its services as a model were over. This piece is acrylic on canvas and measures 20″x16″.

Leeks

I photographed these leeks after finishing the library still life as they were still full of color and up for another painting before hitting the soup pot. This piece is acrylic on canvas and measures 10″x20″.

It is available for sale so email me at susan@ssjoberg.com for information.

Red Pears on Lace

This is one of those paintings that came about in the produce aisle. I wasn’t really thinking about red pears but there they were. Beautiful. On sale. Irresistible. This painting is acrylic on canvas and measures 12″x9″. SOLD.

Red Grapes

Here’s a new one. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything and that’s because it’s been awhile since I’ve painted anything. As winter moves in I have a long list of jobs to get done before the snow flies. This small piece features a polished silver dish and some delicious red grapes I can now eat. It is 8″x6″, acrylic on canvas.

Completed Still Life

I was so close to finishing it last night but it was getting too dark in here. Ten straight days got it done. This piece is 18″x48″ acrylic on canvas and is a commission for the new Kern County library which opens on the 22nd of this month. It will be all varnished and in place by then.

Still Life, Continued

I had hoped to complete this today but it was not to be. Still, I am getting close.

Commission in progress

Susan — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:37:34 +0000

Do I really want to post this? I think after 3 days it’s far enough along to do so. It is a commission for the new Kern Co library and measures 18″x48″. I’m aiming at getting it completed within a week and it is looking likely I’ll make it. It’s acrylic on canvas and the largest of this sort of painting I’ve tackled yet.

June Lake

Susan — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:53:03 +0000

Here is another watercolor landscape I did for a class demo. June Lake in the eastern Sierra and I have some real history together and painting this just felt so familiar. This piece is watercolor on Arches paper and measures 8″x10″. SOLD

Cherry Coke

Susan — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:56:53 +0000

This seems almost too obvious. Maybe it is a result of being the end of summer and here is this old Coca Cola glass I’m drinking water out of while staring at the last of the cherries trying to think what to do with them. It was fun to paint and now it’s done I can finish these cherries.

This one is 8″x6″ acrylic on canvas.
