Susan Abbott Painting Provence

The Art of Susan Abbott is in a new digital book

In 2015 I studied watercolor with Susan Abbott in both the Bahamas and Vermont. She became a mentor and friend. Two of her oils and two of her watercolors hang in my home. She's an accomplished painter in watercolor and oil. This, below, is one of her recent paintings spotted online that I see as spectacular. It works on so many levels exhibiting her fabulous technique.
