Watercolor Paintings of Florals, Still Life, Landscapes and Portraits
Welcome to my view of God's world. My name is Susan Walsh Harper, the Susan Walsh part arriving in June of 1946. Art and music have been part and parcel of who I am since ever I can remember, but as you see, here in 2010, I've come lately to fine art. In fact, I didn't take up a watercolor brush until two years ago. (2007) The journey has been exciting and continues to thrill and amaze me at every dip into a colorful puddle. God has blessed me and guides me through each brushstroke. I believe that as I surrender myself to the art, so I surrender to Him who first gave the gift.
The painting, "Sunflowers" won 5th place in the North Light Book Club Cover Contest for beginner category. That may not sound like much, but I was very excited about it. It was a national contest with thousands of entries and I had only been painting for a year. But as thrilling as that was, in truth it has always been about the gift, embracing that grace so freely given, surrendering to the passion to create something lovely, learning lessons in art and life, getting to know myself and my God more intimately. If someone else is touched, sees something there that soothes their soul, then I am doubly blessed. Please enjoy my efforts.
