New Prints at my ETSY shop.

Things have felt sooo busy lately, I felt like I have'nt posted in a while, but I have been keeping updated with most of the posts here.

Is it just me but the days this month have really felt like a blur, seems to be going quite fast.

This month has been a little testing for me, so I'll be happy to see the end of Feb and start March with a fresher feeling.

Those of you into astrology ( I had some rough transits) Chiron square Venus (not fun) believe me, but trying to integrate these life lessons as best I can.

Anyway, just wanted to update that I have some new prints of my recent painting
'The Lotus Pond Fairy' at my etsy store as well as some of my works from 2008. To visit my store: http://susanrodio.etsy.com/

New Fairy Painting!

This is my first painting for 2009.

Title: "The Lotus Pond Fairy"

Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas panel

Size: 15" x 18"

I was recently headed back home after my late afternoon walk and spotted an amazing pink lotus flower right next door to my place.

About a month earlier I noticed that my neighbour had a couple of strange looking pots filled with water and greenery in them, I had no idea that she was growing this gorgeous lotus and as I had never seen a real life lotus before, I found it so beautiful to look at.

So I took a few pictures which partly inspired this artwork. As the painting came together I felt like it had a symbolic meaning also.

"A storm has passed and just as the sun is making its way through receding clouds, the fairy that lives at the lotus pond is free to emerge and enjoy the beautiful pond again "

Introductory post

Hi,

I have decided to start a blog here. My main blog for the last 2 years or so has been over at Live Journal, (which I am still keeping) but I have recently become aware that there are lots of interesting people here on Blogger as well who I would like to keep updated with and I look forward to sharing my art with some new people here too.

My posts will be about new paintings as I complete them, art related news and some personal snapshots of my life etc. I look forward to seeing some old friends here and getting to know some new ones too :)
