On this platform I can sow you my latest finished painting in two frames. Shade of Dogwood, this hosta oil painting is on a 48 x 24” panel. Available. (Probably.)

I’ve been working on this one for quite some time. It’s about time to wrap it up. Partial shot of a 44 x 30” oil on panel. Hosta flowers are gorgeous but so are their leaves!

So, what’s the protocol here at Bluesky Social? Are there hashtags? Are people interested in art? Here’s a painting from 2021. It is 48 x 36” and named Visiting Susie. Oil on canvas. I’m afraid that this one is spoken for but can see many more on my website: susanvalentine.art

Hello there. I am a Facebook refugee. I assume that Instagram will follow the same Wild West headset, so that too. I’m hoping to find a community of artists and art appreciators without all the political bs. I’m a realist painter working in western Massachusetts. Let’s connect!
