I get excited when light is hitting trees and making shadows. This sketchbook spread is how that feels to me 😁
This is acryl gouache on my handmade paper sketchbook (I made the sketchbook - not the paper!)

Fun things are coming! I’m in class production mode in my new Still Life Unleashed class🏺🌸🎨. I’m having so much fun designing and creating this class, it’s probably going to take another month or two but I promise it will be worth the wait.

Here’s another oil landscape I painted recently from my Provence trip pics. This is right outside the Monastery in St. Remy where Van Gogh painted almost 150 works in a year! We were able to see his bedroom as well. Swipe to see pics. Such a special visit for me since I love his work and writings.

Ever since my trip to Provence last fall I’ve wanted to try and capture the warm light, olive groves and grape vines. Photos just don’t do it (at least the way I take them).

I loved painting my Mom’s garden for her. I did this with acryl gouache on wood panel. Swipe to see the reference pic. I think I’ll do it again but more abstract and simplified and change the colors, as a challenge.

Joyful Art and Creativity Cultivation

Suzanne Allard Design was born two years ago when Suzanne made the decision to grow her love of art and creativity into a full-time business. Her passion is creating art that exudes joy and encouraging others to do so! Having been raised in South and Central America, she fell in love with the gorgeous colors, textures, and flowers of that part of the world.

After working in corporate America and then her own management consulting business, and raising two children, Suzanne followed her dream and launched her art business. She sells her originals and giclée prints on her website suzanneallard.com. She also writes a blog and newsletter to encourage others on a creative journey.

Suzanne has several online painting classes on Skillshare. Visit this page to get her teacher referral link for two free months - enough time to take her classes and many others!
