About

Artwork

The sentinel here is an ancient tree, along a river’s edge, long dead. A snag, a sanctuary for owls, woodpeckers, and possibly that high nesting bird, the red-tailed hawk. Suzanne admits to a fascination with the tree, “I’ve always had the feeling it was watching me, like a guardian against some threat. I painted the river and forest as a framework for that watchful dead tree.”

Suzanne Massion

Hampshire, Illinois

When the land changes, Suzanne Massion's paintings will remind you of the way it once was. She drives the back roads through the tall grass prairies and farmland of her native Illinois, stopping to paint en plein air when the moment strikes. She feels like she's in a race to save a disappearing treasure as buildings burn or open space is paved over. Suzanne donates a portion of her sales to fund local land conservation efforts.

The response an artist wants most to hear is that a collector loves their new acquisition. Sure do wish I could see how you framed it and how it looks in your fireplace setting.

E Culpepper, due to your inquiry regarding an interest in my paintings in a different price range, I've submitted 5 new pieces and UGallery listed them today. I appreciate your interest and comment.

Suzanne Massion 2/15/2015 | 2:07 PM

Why thank you for your interest. It has encouraged me to submit more work to UGallery in your price range. The new pieces are oils on medium textured artist canvas and are matted and have a backing. Keep checking my artwork on UGallery and let me know what you think.

E Culpepper style="color: #000000;"2/15/2015 | 12:05 PM

I would like to own, and enjoy one of your paintings. Do you have any in the 300 to 400 dollar range? Once again, beautiful work.

Suzanne Massion 2/14/2015 | 10:18 AM

Thanks so much for taking a look. Prairie Crossing is an actual community in Illinois, where homes are clustered together, allowing large open space areas to exist. They do controlled burns in the spring. Exciting to see the prairie come back each year.

E Culpepper style="color: #000000;"2/14/2015 | 1:23 AM

Your paintings are so awesome! I can't stop looking at Prairie Crossing. Thank you!

Suzanne Massion 2/9/2015 | 8:59 PM

Thank you for taking a look. I am new to UGallery and yours is a first comment for me.
