Slowly making my way back to land and skies after a colourful detour over to @thisbeeisme abstracts for a while.
*
Switching things up is important for my painting practice. Keeps me on my toes, keeps the curiosity alive, keeps the work forever interesting, and it creates opportunities for discovery.
*
So with fresh eyes I look to the sky again and wonder.... 🖤

Incoming .... a splash of floral brushstrokes 🩷
*
This lovely burst of colour is one I truly love - it`s so ME. Abstract meets flower embraces colour finds joy.
*
This little original is now available in my shop as part of the new `Somersault` collection.
*
Don’t forget that there are print options too - both paper and canvas. This art print looks particularly good in a smaller size to complement a gallery wall, but scales beautifully to a larger canvas print that brightens a room. Lots of ways to fill your home with colour!

Me. Months of work. Miles of canvas and gallons of paint. Late nights wrestling with ideas, long days lost in colour. Tumbling and stumbling along the way but loving the journey.❤️
*
The `Somersault` collection of abstract paintings is now available in my shop. So much colour, both big and small. Each and every one a piece of my colourful, curious, thumping heart for you to enjoy. Lots of gushy rambling Susy words about this series there too 😄
*
Here we go! let`s Somersault!

September...you`re a lot 💛
*

`Sun Spun` was me being brave with colour, daring with the idea, curious with the possibilities and true to my own feelings of a late summer morning. Warmth and peace rising 💛
*
Available as an archival print on paper, as a canvas print (new!) and as a lovely little greeting card in my shop.

Despite the fact I never left, today totally feels like back to school, back to work, back to routine, back to my brushes, back to it all. ❤️🩷❤️

Hope your `back to ... ` week is a great one!

Having a quiet day today under a bright and clear blue sky. this painting is available (see below) 💙
*
While working on some illustrations, I`ve listened to some great podcast episodes and thought I`d share my favorites! (what are you listening to?)
*
@myfavoritemurder episode 356
"Tugboat of Life" is an unbelievable story. Made me do further reading and research on my own afterwards because I was so captivated.
*
@replyall episode #156
"the case of the missing song"
A fun one, and as someone who frequently falls victim to an earworm, one I really enjoyed.
*
@familytripspod with Seth and Josh Meyers
episode #7 with John Oliver is a totally lighthearted delight.
*
(painting shown is my newest little one and I`m happy to say, has already found a new home. Thank you!)

Looking back to the beautiful sky that started it all - `Heaven`s Above`, my first Limited Edition print - on a day I`m thinking forward at everything about to come.
*
Get ready for ....
new originals (both landscape and abstract), new prints, new cards, spectacular new photos, a fun painting video, a new print offering, plus two calendar options!
*
It`s a lot, it`s exciting, it`s colourful and I`m so hopeful that it`ll all be well received!
*

Rolling towards September and all that is to come - it`s going to be great! Excited for crisp days and fall colours, sweater weather and hilly hikes.
*
But equally excited for work things because while I`ve been a bit quiet on the `gram, both Bees here have had an incredibly busy summer painting, re-painting planning, organizing, researching, configuring, writing, printing and completely filling the barrel with new and colorful new beauties to come.
*
(Honestly, almost none of what`s in the works would be possible without the other Bee. She does the work of 100 smart computer bees while I flounder around in paint. So grateful! ❤️)

My story pics this past weekend generated a fair number of questions, so here`s the scoop:
*
It`s PandaFandanga 2023 here! All pandas all day!
*
Over the past 13+ yrs, and in collaboration with two wonderful fabric companies (currently @clothworkswa), I`ve developed and illustrated for a line of children`s fabric #worldofsusybee featuring my little cartoony animal characters.
*
Fun fact - I actually studied classical animation a million years ago and spent most of the early years of my career illustrating and painting in a whimsical, cartoony style. At this point, my characters feel like family - they all have names, distinct personalities, individual adventures and stories they tell. In my head I often have conversations and share smiles with them as I work. It`s SO FUN to dive into these illustrations for a few weeks each year, this time round even more so because I`m introducing the Panda Bear as a new member of the pack. (side note: she still needs a name?)
*
So, landscapes and skies set aside momentarily but I`ll be roaring back with a whole skyful of exciting things soon..... it`s going to be a full and colourful ride right through the end of the year 🙂

An immediate response to a mood - got quiet, went deep into color and luxuriated in the feelings. Into the beautiful, beautiful blue . 💙
