Piece description from the artist
The leopard isn't quite sure he is hearing right. Is the giraffe really going out with the lizard? They sure are playing it cool. But the blue meanies seem to know all the gossip. So cheers to the happy couple. Maybe they will share their secret.
This painting in made on aqua board and then varnished, atypical for watercolor. I first draw a painting in pencil then ink it in with a crow quill in and indelible ink. Then I apply paint accentuating particular flora and fauna to bring my world to life.
Susan Medyn is an eco-artist whose practice bridges environmental art and interspecies collaboration. Using natural materials such as linen, rattan, seed heads, and beeswax from her own hives, she creates sculptural works in partnership with honeybees. Her art encourages reflection on our relationship to the environment and the fragile interdependence of all living systems. She has a long history of painting whimsical watercolors and nautical maps but turned to environmental art as a way to bring awareness to our fragile environment. She at times has up to 1,000,000 tiny studio assistants helping her with her sculptures.
Susan has exhibited locally, nationally, as well as internationally in Monaco, Poland, Belgium, Paris and the Loire Valley, France as well as in the USA . She participates in the annual South Coast Artists Open Studio Tours annually.
