Welcome to my website - suebantingfineart.com. 

​

My works currently concentrate on painting seascapes, landscapes or beloved pets.  I focus on contrasts of light and dark and use realism in most of my work. 

​

The artistic influence in my family, was my great grandmother, who loved painting roses.  I used to paint roses using oil paint, but I fell in love with acrylic, after attending art classes in preparation for my retirement.  I did not see retirement as an end to my work life, but a start to my art career.  I have to admit though, my first acrylic painting went in the bin!  However, with supportive feedback, motivation and inspiration from wonderful teachers, artist friends and family, as well as being self critical, it helped me to improve and so suebantingfineart.com was born. 

​

In looking through my portfolio you should be able to see the diversity within, as it not only includes my unique paintings from my own captured moments and commissions, I have undertaken over the last couple of years, but also contains some of the projects I completed during my earlier art workshops.

​

I continue to learn something new with each piece I create.  That is the beauty of painting and creating fine art, being surprised at what you can achieve and hopefully be pleased with the results.   

Bob Ross would say "we can have happy little accidents, but if we keep going, we can learn from them".   

My current focus is inspired by 19th century romanticism and have been trying to use similar techniques in my latest work.
