I feel like I have been on fast forward for a few months and now it is time to slow it down a bit.
I had work accepted into the Winter Show and Sale at Art Rental and Sales in Victoria and I will be part of the Arts and Industry Tour at Rock Bay Square the weekend of November 24 and 25th. Unfortunately I do not think I will be there but my work will be and my fellow artist friends will answer any questions etc. I am about to start writing a proposal for a residency out of province and we will see where that goes. It will take some quiet time and introspection to decide what that looks like....to be continued. The glorious light of fall is filling my days with joy and inspiration and I will continue to pursue my work but with less fanfare. Please come to the studio if you would like to see my paintings in person. Please call ahead as my muses sometimes keep me outside in nature. My phone number is (250) 514-3413 or you can email me susan@geddes.ca. Thank you for taking the time to review my site and paintings.

Back again to share part of the painting life. September is proving to be exciting and very busy for
me. I am currently doing a residency at the Parkside Hotel on Humboldt Street for the month and I am there Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. This afternoon I am hanging several pieces at OneYoga on Menzies Street and my paintings will be there for 2 months. September 21 is the opening of ALLSorts, an exhibition with myself Rose Cowles Martin and Lynda Lombardi. The show will run for 3 weeks, finishing on October 12, 2018. I am currently painting pieces for the Christmas exhibition at Art Rental and hopefully they will accept them and love them. I am also working on a few larger pieces. The pieces I have for ALLSorts are all "hot off the press" so to speak and I am excited about the new colours and direction of many of them. Okay I'd best get to the Yoga studio and start hanging.....enjoy each precious day with the glorious light of fall. Hello everyone. Some changes in how I promote my paintings. I am now on Instagram and having fun hearing from people from all over the world, love it. I am painting for an artist residency in September in Victoria at Parkside Hotel. I will be there 3 days a week, Tuesday-Thursday from 10:00-4:00 and my paintings will be up in the breakfast room for the month. I continue to send a few pieces to Teichert Gallery in Nova Scotia for their summer crowd and of course I have some lovely paintings in Victoria at the Art Rental and Sales Pop Up Gallery on Fort Street. I also have pieces at Nourish Restaurant in James Bay upstairs in the coffee shop if you are in the area. Karen from Art Rental is wonderful about getting my work out into the community. I have many new smaller pieces, 8 x 8's and a few 10 by 10's in the studio at Rock Bay Square. If you are interested in coming by just shoot me a text or email: Susan@Geddes.ca, phone: (250) 514-3413. Enjoy your summer and happy painting, kayaking, hiking and picnicking some of my favourite activities. Circles of Joy, acrylic and gold leaf, 8 x 8I finished three new paintings this week and I am working on a diptych and a few smaller pieces.
This week I am back to larger canvasses and the excitement increases. What will present itself and where will it lead me....the adventure continues. Beautiful Planet Earth, Diptych, 36 x 24. This painting is currently in Cuenca, Ecuador

AuthorHello - I love to paint from my intuition and from nature. I love texture and colour and the abstraction of shapes and images. Archives
