Some questions from Monthly Sharpener (Members Circle):

Can you store paper in the plastic that it’s shipped in?

Do hemp and bamboo papers hold up longer over time?

Interview with Susan Lyon

303 - Interview with Susan Lyon

This week John is talking with artist Susan Lyon. Her initial interest in art was sparked by a PBS television show on Georgia O'Keefe, that inspired her to take weekend art classes.

She studied art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was an active participant in Chicago's Palette and Chisel Club. It is there she first began exhibiting and selling her work.

Susan draws inspiration from painters of the Guilded age such as John Singer Sargent.

Susan has a unique style of painting and uses contrasting values to create a greater sense of drama. She says that a color photograph will lie to you. Listen to her explain how to simplify what you see.
