"Out of the Blue", Artist - Susan Morris
Title: “Out of the Blue”
Artwork size: 15” x 10”; Matted size: 23” x 16”
Medium: Colored pencil
Price: $375.00
The story behind the artwork:
This artwork captures a striking moment as a barn owl sweeps forward from a deep, glowing blue background. Its wings stretch wide, revealing soft creams and warm browns that stand out against the cool night tones. Every feather is drawn with care, showing both the owl’s quiet power and its delicate grace.
The background shimmers with circles of light—like distant stars or soft moonlit reflections—giving the scene a magical, floating feeling. The owl seems to emerge from the darkness itself, silent and sure, as if arriving just when you least expect it.
“Out of the Blue” celebrates the mystery, beauty, and quiet wonder of a creature that moves through the night with effortless grace.
"Simple Wonder", Artist - Susan Morris
“Simple Wonder”
Artwork size: 10” x 10”; Matted size: 12” x 12”
Medium: Colored Pencil
Price: $325.00
The story behind the artwork:
This artwork captures a quiet moment of beauty—a single green leaf resting on a wooden deck after the rain. Tiny droplets scatter across its surface, while one larger drop sits near the stem, acting like a tiny glass lens that reflects the world around it. Each bead of water is drawn with gentle detail, making the ordinary feel almost magical.
The rich wood tones beneath the leaf add warmth and contrast, helping the soft greens and delicate veins of the leaf stand out. It’s a peaceful reminder that wonder often shows up in the smallest places, if we just take a moment to look.
“Simple Wonder” celebrates the charm of everyday nature and the little surprises that make us pause and appreciate the world around us.
"Ole Blue Eyes", - Artist Susan Morris
Artwork size: 10” x 8”; Matted size: 14” x 11”
Medium: Colored Pencil
Price: $225.00
The story behind the artwork:
This artwork offers an intimate, up-close look at a sweet tabby cat with the kind of blue eyes you can’t forget. Every tiny stroke of colored pencil brings out the soft fur, delicate whiskers, and gentle textures around the face. But it’s those eyes—clear, bright, and full of quiet mischief—that steal the show.
The cat lounges peacefully, looking out with a gaze that feels both calm and curious. The title, a playful nod to Sinatra himself, adds a touch of humor to the piece, making the moment feel even more charming.
“Ole Blue Eyes” celebrates the beauty found in simple, everyday companionship—the kind that looks back at you with love, trust, and a sparkle all its own.
