Old friends, sit on their park bench like bookends...
Once upon a time, I had a small art studio. Just outside was a tiny park in which there was a park bench. You can see a vine-covered concrete wall in shadows of the background.These 2 old men sat on that bench nearly every day, so one day I asked them if I could take their picture. This painting is the result of that polaroid. It is done with a build-up of washes, so some of the detail is the pencil showing through. I love these old geezers. They've been easy to live with these past 40 or so years. (The original painting is 18x24)

Welcome to Susan Lafleur's eclectic art gallery! Browse and enjoy! Feel free to comment if the mood hits. First things first - the Fine Art America watermark will not show up on any purchased and printed image! The artist was educated at Boston University School for the Arts. Much of the work is focused in New England, but a love of travel has produced artwork and photographs from around the world. After many years of working with computers for a living, Susan has learned to appreciate them as a tool for creating art. Much of the work seen here has been created or enhanced using various computer programs. For additional products that may not be available on FAA (there's a great beach tote and beach towels), see the Pixels...

Susan, I absolutely LOVE this! That soft, faded pallet, maybe a little faded like these older gentlemen....is so perfect. Little details like the grosgrain ribbon on the hat, the "undershirt" under the outer shirt...just add so much. I love their expressions too! Wonderful! F/L/follow
