The Enchanting works of Sushe and Tracy Felix

I became friends with Sushe and Tracy when I invited them to have an art show at the hospital where I curate exhibitions 5-6 years times a year.  I find their work simply joyful and I am inspired with how gracefully they have interpreted nature into magnificent contemporary art.

Sushe makes me want to learn to see landscape through her eyes.  This one above is entitled Valley Flight   20" x 40".

She also creates small drawings (6" x 8") with layers of lush grey and intricate detail, that I absolutely love.  They're actually studies for her larger paintings and several are featured in the hospital's gallery.

Everyone who sees Tracy's work cannot help but comment on the clouds.  This is Storm over Sangres, 49" x 60". I think these are white gumdrop clouds. A friend commented that she has seen a Tracy painting with bosom clouds. So now I will be on the lookout for that painting. Tracy has a tremendous imagination and sense of humor. You may see other parts of the body in his other works.

If you happen to be a Denverite, then you must visit one of their exhibitions.  A visit to the hospital requires a guest pass and you can contact me about that.

The other exhibition is located at William Havu Gallery. Don't you hate the aloof stare that you get sometimes when you walk into a gallery?  Or being looked at momentarily and then ignored. I do!  Such is not the case with Bill and Nick.  Here's a review of that exhibition
