“Tudor Romance”
Oil on canvas
2020

Size: 24 x 30 in.
Unframed (custom framing is available upon request)

The present painting transports the viewer to the imagined world of a Tudor estate, inclusive of a lovely water feature, monumental planter, lush greenery and a beautiful home nested among the verdure. The subject—a woman in a white flowing gown and her accompanying pet—imply the mid-19th century Victorian era while the sleepy architecture and dreamy landscape further complement the theme, recalling either the romance of a Hallmark movie or starry-eyed Jane Austen novel.

Since first picking up a brush as a child, Sue Kelleher has had an unconditional and deep resolve to create strong images of beauty, grace and life. Painting in oil since childhood, she has mastered the medium to create splendid Landscapes, equine and hunt scenes. Sue was born and raised in Los Angeles. She moved to the East Coast with her husband in 1980. Her training includes studying with professional artists and attending classes in various colleges around the country. She is also a highly regarded oil painting instructor. "I am simply enchanted with life and beauty and I try to capture it. I visualize my paintings as if they were alive." This decree is clear in Sue's equestrian hunt series completed after her invitation to watch the Hunts of Northern Virginia. Horses are Sue's main interest along with Victorian garden scenes and Landscapes. Sue’s works have been featured in various regional galleries, exhibits, and have been commissioned for various private collections and luxury resorts.
