Susan's Sketchbook and Drawings

This web site was developed because I ran out of room on my other web site,  www.susanmedgerton.freeservers.com.  Please check it out. There, you will find my paintings, in acrylic and watercolor, and those on cinderflu. 

Currently on www.susanmedgerton.freeservers.com , I also have been adding my digitally manipulated photographs/drawings (DMP's).  I have only just begun playing around with this new-to-me form of artistic expression.  It might be interesting to you to see how it progresses as I learn more about the programs.  Included within this realm of thought is a beginning story line with DMP illustrations titled "Good Earth".  At some point, I will create a web site solely for "Good Earth", so keep your eyes open for it, especially, since maybe people you know will pose for the characters in the story!

www.susanssketchbook.freeservers.com  is dedicated to the many varied forms of drawing, ranging from quick gestural sketches to deeply involved prismacolor, ink and woodburned images of my own design and inspiration.  Some of my pieces, have both drawing and painting elements; in that case, I will try to showcase them within themes of subject matter that, in someway, makes sense.
