Monday Artist Exploration: Susan Donati

"Lights Within" from the Susan Donati website

When looking about for my daily dose of color, I ran across images of artwork done by painter Susan Donati.

I spent quite a bit of time looking through her work and just sinking into the color. My eyes just kept moving as I found more and more to look at.

I tend to be drawn to Impressionists to begin with, so exploring Susan Donati's work left me feeling bright and inspired.

Go on over to her site and take a peek. I think you will feel much the same.

Exploring Artists: Sol LeWitt

I have compiled a list over the years of artists that inspire me and those that I would like to explore further. I think I will try and post something here as attempt to keep everything together instead of bits here and there scribbled in various notebooks and sketch pads. I most likely will always be a scribbler, but this should help to keep me organized, something that I am not!


I am all about color and intrigued shape, and last week I spent some time exploring American artist Sol LeWitt. He was involved in the Conceptual and Minimalist Movements.

Pure colors that seem to come together in something simple, yet the compositions are complex.  I am particularly drawn to his larger structural installations.
