News for April/May, 2008

For those interested in the day-to-day workings of this artist's life and postings of new paintings,

Susan Carlin Art Studio & Gallery
I dreamed about having a studio and gallery for a long time... and now it's true!
I'm usually there Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, painting and offering day-long, personal instruction and generally grinning ear-to-ear. 418 Villita Street, 14B. 210-226-3992.

The way I teach now....
Until recently, I taught pastel and oil classes in the usual manner: a 2-and-a- half or 3-hour format to small groups of students. Now that the Studio/Gallery is open, Im teaching one person at a time. Benefits? More personal attention, and long enough time to actually get some work done! Please contact me if you're interested or have questions. I love to see people get turned on by painting! Call me: 210-655-3590

Commissions News
I've had a terrific series of portrait commissions since opening the gallery. Currently I'm working on two for a client in Louisiana- of herself with her sister for a Mother's Day gift for her mom, and the other of her mom and her mom's Maltese dog for her sister. The commission waiting for me after those is one for the most charming Irish fellow of a beautiful young woman using a black and white reference photo clipped from the newspaper in 1961. Glutton for punishment? Nah, it's an intriguing challenge!



Competition News
In January I was honored by winning Artist Of The Year at Coppini Academy. Thank you, members of Coppini!
In March, my pastel painting, "Afternoon Flight" won Second in Show at the Austin Pastel Society Annual Exhibition. Judith Carducci, juror.

New Texas Pastel Society
February saw the beginning of a new pastel society in San Antonio. I was honored to be asked to present the program for the first meeting- a pastel portrait demonstration. If you work in pastel anywhere near S.A., you'll want to be a member. Meetings, demonstrations, paint-outs, workshops, exhibition possibilites... and more!

Austin Pastel Society
I've been a member of this group for three years now and have grown so much as an artist with the support and encouragement they've offered. If you do pastels anywhere near San Antonio or Austin, I urge you to join and get to know these wonderful artists.
