Couldn't really put this under the velvet painting thread since it is a oil on canvas, so I started a new thread.This is a very recent acquisition .Looks like the artist is Susan Parks. Does anyone know anything about this artist ? Aloha -Trader Bill (1961surf) [ Edited by: 1961surf 2009-02-12 02:20 ]

We will miss her!" In any case, that is a stunning painting, nice score! Also found another Susan Parks in TN. Susan Parks, Chattanooga School of the Arts & Sciences, February/March, 1993.
