About Me
- Susan Williamson
- ambler, pa, United States
- Painting and drawing was a major part of my life as a child but dissapeared during my teens and through my life as an adult working fulltime in the corporate world. The awakening came one day at the office when I realized that I had to return to art, quit and took a partime job. I began classes at a local art league and painting at home. Another awakening arrived when I had my first intimate encounter with a dairy cow. Then there was the interview with Temple Grandin...no more eating these beautiful creatures or anything with a mother. My goal is to depict these non-human animals as the sentient, beautiful beings that they are. That's it.
Susan, lovely... love the softness of this ! The darker ground really works here, too !
ReplyDeletedid you interview Temple Grandin for an article you were writing? Love to hear more about this.... my sis has a sweet autistic granddaughter, and our family has become so much more aware of this issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
DeleteThank you for your comments. I would love to interview Temple Grandin but don't know anything about an article being written by another Susan Williamson. I am completely smitten with Temple and have all of her books plus have seen the HBO movie on her life. She is a huge inspiration for me.
Beautiful! Love the light and shadow on the snow.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shira
DeleteBeautiful, Susan! Love the atmosphere and the play of the light and shadow :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammie, I'm planning to do a larger one and hope I don't mess it up!
DeleteReally nice Susan!Nice sunlight effect!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Theresa. I hesitate to paint snow scenes because they usually end up in the trash...maybe it should be one of my challenges for 2013 to paint more of them.
DeleteOK, I am going to just have to come out and say that you are one of my favorite artists that is participating in this challenge! This has such incredible atmosphere - something I have already noticed with your cows. Absolutely beautiful work! Your decision to quit your job and pursue your passion was definitely the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am really touched. That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. The jury is still out on me quitting my job, but it certainly has been an adventure.
