    NEWS ABOUT SHIPPING TO USA

    Hello, I just want to get the word out there that even though de minimis ended on August 29th for most products being shipped from Canada to the United States, original paintings are STILL EXEMPT. I just went through the process on Canada Post of creating my first shipment to the United States after August 29th. I went through the process of declaring what I was shipping, the price of the art, and received a code for customs that says there in NO DUTY required to be paid on ORIGINAL PAINTINGS. So please feel free to buy that painting you love. I will be more than happy to ship it to you in the States. And if you have ANY questions about this, please feel free to contact me. I've added a photo of the declaration I received for customs because there has been so much speculation and disinformation about whether or not there will be duty charged on original art. Even I was unsure at times because of conflicting information. But there it is in black and white. Proof. Love you all! Suzanne

    This is a progression that has come from my "Colourful Shapes" or "Messy Squares" style of abstract painting. They look more like river rocks or rocks at the edge of the water. These are both 36x36 inches and very much "in progress" at the moment. The left one is unstretched, but created on a Masonite board. The one on the right is on traditional stretched canvas. Coming soon to my shop! Please send me a message if you'd like to know when they're done.

    This is what I painted on that huge white canvas I posted earlier. This measures 46x46 inches. Still a work in progress, but close. I've painted an extra 3 inches all round so that when it's stretched you'll see the painting roll over the edge. Such a lovely modern look. This photo was taken in my studio by a window, so there's a lot of light to one side.

    Working on a large unstretched canvas so it can safely an economically be shipped globally. I paint an extra 2.5 inches all round, so when the painting is stretched, it rolls over the edge in a beautiful modern look! This painting will measure 36x48 inches once stretched. Painted with acrylics and varnished with a clear gloss. It would look amazing in a reception, a snug, or a living room.

    There's a wonderful freedom that comes with working on a large canvas that I didn't expect. I love these kinds of surprises.

    My first painting on unstretched canvas

    My first painting on unstretched canvas

    Although considered unstretched, I do stretch the canvas onto a Masonite board so that when I remove it, it lies flat. Unstretched pieces like this are shipped rolled to make delivery more economical.

    I have to wait for good weather to photograph my work outdoors, so I often do it in batches. These are my latest small abstract paintings. Please follow my Artfinder page to be notified when new art is listed.

    Tools on the worktop

    Some of my favourite paints and tools. In abstract painting it's good to have a variety of ways to create marks and interest in the work. So I do my best to diversify. Please follow my Artfinder page to be notified when new art is listed.

    I get the most beautiful view from my studio window. The house is built in a clearing in the middle of the Canadian Boreal Forest. They say the north light is the best light for artists because it shows the true colours of the paint. And I agree. Please follow my Artfinder page to be notified when new art is listed.
