Description A wildlife photograph turned watercolor painting, of a little green red-eyed tree frog reclining on a purple waterlily petal. I used marigold yellow, peach, lime, orange, ultra violet and lavender on a cold press watercolor paper texture for my digital artwork. Please visit my Animals art gallery to see more of my critter artworks, both real and imagined.
Susan Maxwell Schmidt, Oxford, PA Member Since December 2019 Artist Statement My mind lives in a rather strange world of its own, in a state which I tend to refer to as "delightfully twisted." Through my art, which I am vehemently determined to continue to create with as little outside influence as possible (not the least of which includes whatever drives the art market at any given moment), I work to interpret the concepts my mind creates in a moment-by moment barrage of ideas. Though my work manifests itself in many different ways, from the delicate transparency of vibrant digital watercolor, to the no-holds-barred starkness of noir photography, to even the fanciful abstract-turned-conceptual properties of my fractal art, the undercurrent that binds them all is my love of surrealism. I prefer the worlds my mind creates to the one in which I live, and though I create all my art to please myself as a rule, nothing thrills me more than when it speaks to someone else as it does me.
