c. Susan Sorrell Hill
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been away from blogging for a while?
It’s true…after a big push (no results yet) in the publishing world with my illustration work and the two books I’ve both written and illustrated, I’ve been back in my little studio, drawing and painting watercolors. It seems like the perfect activity for a very green and lush Spring…
The above-mentioned *new* watercolors are being featured on the Trade Your Talent blog site, and a new interview accompanies them. This is the second interview that Susanna Maier, owner of the very artsy , Berlin-based TYT blog has honored me with.
See both the new paintings and the interview here.
(See the first interview here.)
You’ll also be able to see the new paintings on my website (www.susansorrellhill.com) sometime soon…when I get some pesky technical details (love those) worked out…
Happy Spring to all my artist friends and art fans!
I am an artist who also writes, working in watercolors and oils. Timeless stories and that most interesting of questions, "Why?" inspire me, and the symbology and archetypes found in myths, fairy and folk tales are especially intriguing. Two of my own illustrated tales are currently seeking their publishers.
