Garden CatsSusan Mills
Once again, I have the pleasure of featuring an artist whom I can count among my blog friends. Susan, of the blog Phantsythat. These luscious watercolor paintings have stolen my heart, in part because of the love and tenderness with which Susan paints the animals in her creations, the rich details, the gorgeous colors and patterned borders.
When you visit Phantsythat, be sure to read the posts that accompany the paintings she features, as they connect in some meaningful way to one another. I've included links to a few of my favorite posts.
Susan lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and has lived and traveled extensively within Canada and the U.S. as well as many places of the heart, mind and imagination. She's an intensely spiritual and delightfully positive human being.

ReplyDeleteA pussy/cat artist, I see: my favorite kind! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was first blown away by Susan's pen and ink drawings, then bowled over by her paintings - amazing! And her writing is indeed excellent, both personal and universal at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring her here. You're a wonderful part of the 'sphere, M'Dear!
Thank you for a wonderful tribute to my small contribution to the world of creativity. I claim neither genius nor even great talent but I'm grateful for the grace of reflection. This is a beautiful world.
ReplyDeleteIt is I who is grateful, Susan. You bring so much of yourself to your blogs. I think you're wonderful. :-)
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing so many of dear susan's paintings in one place...I have not seen them before and they are all such treasures...I must have spent 20 minutes gazing at them and thinking, "how'd she do that?" she is an amazing painter. :)

One of my favorites. I love her work. I'm especially intrigued with each painting's border right now.
