`Maine Interior I` 9 x 12 Watercolor |
|
| Susan Knight Smith |
Susan Knight Smith works primarily in the mediums of pastel and watercolor. Pastel allows her to combine her love of expressive drawing with vibrant color. Watercolor, used alone or as an under-painting for pastel, provides a spontaneity and fluidity she enjoys in a painting experience. In addition to landscapes, she paints portraits, figure studies, still life, intimate garden scenes, and particularly enjoys plein air painting, or painting out of doors. Susan’s paintings reflect her love of nature, her fascination with the juxtaposition of colors and the play of light, and an enchantment with particular or unique people, places, or things. Of her work, she simply says, "I paint what delights me." She finds much to delight her in the metro Atlanta area where she lives, or near the E. Tennessee home where she grew up. She has also found inspiration for many of her paintings on trips to France, Italy, Mexico, and the Arizona desert.
