"I find inspiration for my figurative paintings in any number of places, from a casual comment to a song. I try not to be too specific in the narrative so the viewer can complete the story and the emotion, so they can have their own relationship with the painting. The artist can capture an expression or an idea and share a moment in time, and at the same time the goal is to subordinate technique to the design of the subject - to leave no residue of technical mannerisms to stand between my expression and the observer." ~ Sue Nichols
Rural Reflections
A nostalgic glimpse of bucolic and domestic scenes derived from a life on her orchard ranch in the rural Southwest. Some paintings carried their history from the land while others depict the animals and plants that surround them in their daily lives. Nichols paintings give a nod to the nostalgic, being anchored by realism both pictorially and metaphysically.
