Swept to Sea on Wings of Barley
Susan Graseck
$525.00

I paint largely from memories and experiences, seeking the essence of a place or time and exploring the imagery with my paint until I find myself looking through the scene to the feelings it evokes. It is then that the final piece begins to take shape. Specific medium: Acrylic on Canvas
