Painting by Sue Mckee
exhibition
August 3 August 28, 2016
A collection of paintings by Susan Mckee

It occurs to me that painting is a comment.  Color, line and brushwork create a language - one that seems more knowing - a glance at the truth. No matter the subject matter, it is essential that  the artist trust the color and line to create through them a soulful response and a trustworthy  recording of the human experience.
