Suzanne Koch


This is an artist that I know people are unaware of -- a wonderful still life painter, Suzanne Koch. I own some of her earlier works. Here's one that I don't own.
Suzanne's painterly way of seeing and painting is closer to the way I've tended to approach things, but she captures the light falling over these objects here, in this painting, in such a summary and ephemeral way. It is as though the light just falls on them and she sees and records it instantly before it's passing.
It's an amazing picture. Hope that its loveliness is evident in this reproduction.
