I like to capture the mood and quality of the moment , the light and atmosphere of the place. I also like to invite the viewer to experience the medium of oil paint as well...the quality of paint spontaneously applied and of the fun of a brushstroke to describe a glint of light. Most of these paintings were done during my excursions with my fellow painters in the "Newburyport 10 Plein Air Painters".</p><br /> <strong>Portraits</strong><br /> <h2>Portraits</h2><ul> <li><img

There is a quality of magic and memory, of the mystery of the sea, and celebration of the arts in these towns like Newburyport, MA and Portsmouth, NH and Portland ME. These paintings contain the story of mermaids and musicians, of angels and street performers and of holy nights and days by the sea.</p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/contact" target="_self" rel="nofollow"><b>Tape</b></a>|<a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/about-me" target="_self" rel="nofollow"><b>Tape</b></a><br /> <p><a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/about-me" target="_self" rel="nofollow">About Me</a></p><a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/what-i-can-do" target="_self" rel="nofollow"><b>Tape</b></a><br /> <p><a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/what-i-can-do" target="_self" rel="nofollow">What I Can Offer</a></p><br /> <p><a href="http://www.spellmancollection.com/contact" target="_self" rel="nofollow">Contact</a></p><br /> <p>Oil Paintings</p><p>Illustration</p><p>Portraits</p><br /> <p>Susan Spellman, Artist &Illustrator</p><p>Current Exhibits</p><br /> <p>I love meeting new clients.
