Original Oil Painting on Raymar Canvas Panel

by Susan F. Greaves, KA

"The old lumber town of McCloud, California, is picturesque beyond words and this first snowfall dressed Mt. Shasta for the occasion. I set my easel by the entrance to the old mill and looked north into the vista." --- SFG

Who is Susan Greaves, the artist? See My eBay.

This fine art oil painting on canvas is an original work by Susan Greaves. Plein air paintings, such as this one, are painted on location, though the term is often used for any landscape work painted by an artist whose usual practice is to work "in the open air." Such methods were first developed by the French Impressionists and impressionism still heavily influences contemporary landscape artists. Another important contribution was that of the early California painters, also called the California Impressionists, and still later, the Russian Impressionists made their mark on today's living artists, especially west coast and California artists.

Though stretched canvas is the usual ground for oils, the added stability of a panel, like the Raymar canvas panel, safeguards against future cracking or wear.

Biography

Susan F. Greaves is a Louisiana native and believes her earliest art influence was the graceful and classic architecture favored there. After earning a bachelor of arts degree from Louisiana State University, she worked as an interior designer in New Orleans and then moved to Florida, Maine, Bermuda, Sicily, and Washington state as her husband served as a Navy flight surgeon and trained in pathology.

Meanwhile, she painted occasionally and took every history of art course available to her.

She returned to painting in Seattle in 1976 under the instruction of William F. Reese. His unwavering dedication to the foundational concepts of painting and to integrity set the direction and standard for her subsequent work.

After moving to Redding, California in 1977, where she still lives and works today, she studied in Los Angeles and Idaho with the acclaimed Sergei Bongart as a scholarship student. Through him, the influence of the Russian Impressionists is evident in her work.

Greaves' work is described as "a fine example of strong, painterly style". Her paintings are noted for their light and color. She uses classical methods of careful observation and direct execution to portray subjects ranging from florals and still life to landscapes and figures.
Her life-long fascination with horses has found expression in equine paintings. The memorable views of her adopted landscape and frequent travels provide constant visual stimulation.
