Between Summer and Fall
A collection of oil studies by Suzanne Brooker
Nature is the best teacher. In these paintings I worked to better understand the patterns and chaos of organic forms through oil painting techniques.

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 4-5 selections on a theme every Saturday from 2 until the bottles run out and on Sunday, we offer a mini-tasting of two wines all day from 11-5.
