Notre Dame High School Signature Auction Event

"Notre Dame High School" ©2013 Susie Morrell 10" x 20" oil on gallery wrap canvas

In addition to my September daily challenge, I have been working on two auction paintings.  The first event is on Saturday November 2, 2013 at Notre Dame High School called "Puttin' on the Ritz".   If you are attending the auction, look for my painting of the high school that will be part of the silent auction.  If you are not attending the auction, but are interested in bidding on the painting, contact me at 267-980-2777.  You can view all items and bid using BidPal by clicking HERE.

The view for the painting was taken from under the arch of the entrance to the football field during a sunny weekend afternoon when I was in the area of the school and the sun was setting.  The glow of the light on the facade of the school accented by the fall colors in bloom were my inspiration.  Since our introduction to Notre Dame six years ago we have witnessed the growth not only in our children but in the school as a whole.  Notre Dame combines education for the mind, body and soul.  I am happy to donate this painting and it's proceeds as a small token of my appreciation for the school, it's educators and administrative staff who make the school a great place to be a teenager.

As promised, here are all 30!

I love this quote by Jack Penn ~ 

"One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks."  

I call my studio - Skipping Stones Studio, so this quote seems appropriate having reached my goal of 30 daily paintings in 30 days.

Thank you for viewing my work! 

30 in 30 Day 30: "Black Eyed Susan" by Susie Morrell Painting a Day

Well, the journey has ended... or has it begun? Here I am at day 30.  I painted this Black Eyed Susan because it's a tie between this or the sunflower that is my favorite.  I used to pick these by the handful and bring back for my mom from the fields around our house on the hill.  As a little girl I thought my mom just named them Black Eyed Susan because my name was Susie and I had dark brown eyes.. it was quite some time later before I realized everyone called them that....

30 in 30 Day 29: "Arthur" by Susie Morrell's Painting a Day

This little guy was so fun to paint.  I tried to capture the golden colors of curly fur and distinctive freckle on his nose. His name is Arthur.

30 in 30 Day 28: "Love Letters" by Susie Morrell a Painting a Day

What started as correspondence across the miles between two young adults matured into love and then the sacrament of marriage taking place TODAY September 28, 2013.  To memorialize the journey of love and honor the day, my sister and her husband commissioned me to paint the letters and engagement ring of their niece as a keepsake and gift.  How appropriate to paint it on this day, their wedding day.  It makes my heart full to think of what must be happing on this wedding morning for the two of them as they begin their life together.  I wish them joy, health and happiness.  It was an honor to paint this for them.

30 in 30 Day 26: "Pumpkins" by Susie Morrell - Painting a Day

Up to this point, I have used a very limited palette of colors.  But for these pumpkins, I broke out a tube of Coral Orange by Old Holland.  Just loved the range of chromatic value I could achieve.  Pumpkins are popping up everywhere!
