Happy Holidays, dear readers!
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” (pen & ink)
Another one of my vintage graphic designs, circa 1985…a poster border for a musical event, if memory serves.

‘Tis the Season!
December 17, 2014 by Susan Sorrell Hill
Welcome!
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.❦ For queries of any sort *click* on the image above and proceed to my Contact page at www.susansorrellhill.com.

Another from the archives, untitled. This was one of the illustrations from my very first book dummy, many (many) years ago. "The Six Swans," if I remember correctly. I love making book dummies... wearing all the hats: illustrator, set designer, art director, sometimes even writer. Total immersion! ❦ © Susan Sorrell Hill . . . #susansorrellhill #penandink #illustration #childrensbooks #thesixswans #grimmsfairytales #drawing #artistsoninstagramTaking one's home (Soul, Self, Presence) on the Journey is something I think we're all learning. There shouldn't be just one place that we feel safe... "The Journey of Mr. Tweet" (watercolor, pen & ink, pastel, graphite) ❦ "Mr. Tweet began his journey to find a new home. The silent trees watched him float quietly by. The journey could take him anywhere, anywhere at all..." Or maybe there's another story here... ❦ Another from the archives. Available. ♡ . . . #susansorrellhill #painting #drawing #illustration #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #fairytale #originalart #illustration #narrative #artists #worksonpaper #smallartwork #intuitive #home #safe #Soul"A very calm fish herder, followed by a school of mysterious flying green fish. Does he know who he leads...and does it matter?" Or maybe there's another story here... ♡ (watercolor, pen & ink -- Original available, also prints.) There's a story for this one, working its way into the light of day...little by little. . . . #susansorrellhill #painting #drawing #illustration #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #fairytaleart #originalart #makersmovement #fineart #contemporarypainting #narrativeart #artforsale #artists #painting #worksonpaper #smallartwork #intuitiveart #fishherderMy oil painting, "Betwixt & Between" has been included in this beautiful collection of nest and egg-inspired art. (The original has been sold, but prints are available.) ♡ See the full collection here: https://www.artspan.com/art-collections/539/Nest/Egg/ . . . #susansorrellhill #betwixtandbetween #artspan #fineart #nestart #oilpainting"The Right Crowd" (watercolor, pen & ink) Sequential art ("tell a story in five frames") for a past SCBWI competition. It's curious...some absolutely adore this one, others pass it by without a glance. Putting one's work out there into The World is such a rorschach test... ♡ (original art and prints available) © Susan Sorrell Hill . . . #susansorrellhill #originalart #watercolor #watercolour #drawing #SCBWI #therightcrowd #belonging #friendship #rejection #fairytaleart #marchingbirds #partyhatsAnd the last dragon for #smaugust. This one's clearly a water dragon, executed with watercolor and Caran D'ache Neocolor water-soluble crayons. Probably some pencil in there too. Pure play...more spontaneous and fluid than my usual watercolor work. Good to bust out once in a while, yes? . . . #susansorrellhill #painting #drawing #watercolor #fairytale #originalart #smaugust #dragon #whimsy #CaranD'ache #NeocolorFacebook
