Painting demo+talk with Sue Charles

Sue Charles is very well-known on the south shore of Boston where she used to live until recently.
She will talk about her style of painting and will also paint. Public is encouraged to stop by any time, watch her paint, ask questions, listen, talk, and view the display of her paintings on the Gallery Artist Wall. Sue is one of the Twelve Gallery Artists who get featured for a month throughout the year, and the month of October 2018 belongs to her. Don’t hesitate to stop by, light refreshments will be served.
Sue grew up in Scituate, MA and graduated from Boston University's School of Fine Arts. She has taught oil painting for over 15 years, on both north and south shores, and currently teaches at the Newburyport Art Association. Her paintings have won numerous awards, most recently best oil at NAA's regional juried show and her work is collected nationally, most notably by David and Susan Rockefeller, Jr.
Sue's current painting continues her intrigue with the idea of reflection and light. By incorporating gold leaf, by painting on aluminum and by considering individual brush strokes and how they can be knitted together, Charles draws attention to the surface quality of paintings, and honors the craft of creating an image from pure pigment and raw materials of cloth and metal.
Welliver, Klimt, Isaacs and Thomson are current influences. All the painters depict the three dimensions of light and space with emphatic shape and color. Sue's work has likewise evolved to emphasize the picture plane.
Says Charles "A good painting contains only the essentials and it stays with you like a hummable melody. I aim for that."
