Blue is a Stellar Jay, common to the Mt Baldy mountains where Suzan lived for a time. Everyday she would feed Blue on the deck of her studio  Bright Moon Studio as she enjoyed a cup of coffee to welcome in the day. Her studio was a place where she could be safe from the raging pandemic, as she struggled on with her painting experiments.
      Most Minikins are small Zen brush watercolors that Suzan brushed en plein air at the beach, in the mountains, or in her backyard garden. Others are experimental watercolors. They are 5X7 prints matted in an 8X10 black or white mat, ready for framing in an 8X10 frame. Fun and inexpensive! They make nice gifts. This category will be constantly changing: watch this space!
