I love this beautiful collage painting done by my talented cousin Sue. She is out in British Columbia in wine country and this is one of her creations. She called it Painter's Retreat. I'm not sure exactly how it is done, but a combination of acrylic painting and photo transfers using old family photos and other images that are copied/printed on transparencies and transferred to the painted surface of the canvas. A beautiful collage, I love the distressed look of the photo and the choice of colors. I was having a phone visit and we were talking about artsy stuff and I asked if she minded me posting some of her work. She doesn't mind so I thought I'd give you this bit of eye candy. It is my favorite!
This is an old photo of her husband Pete's mother Dolly, on the right, and Aunt Mabel in the background. We are guessing that this was one of those studio portraits, where they have the props and you pose for the picture. At first I was thinking OMG! Dolly was an artist too!..... but realized this must be "make believe" .
A closeup of the lovely Dolly
There's beautiful Mabel. I would think, but don't know for sure, that the picture was taking in the 1920's......? Sue? do you know?

This is still one of my favourite pictures. This one was taken in the 30s. Thanks for posting!
Yes Susan is very talented, she has done several painting's, some of which have been sold in a local Fruit Winery. What I love about this painting in particular is the fact that these two beautiful women have a direct connection to Susan's family. Bravo! little sista!!
