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.
My sincere thanks, J Goldenberg, for your response. These are words every artist loves to read. I'm so pleased you discovered my painting through UGallery. The staff here is wonderful to work with. Love to know your new painting brightens its new home.
We are very happy with Blue Skies Smiling. The actual piece of artwork was exactly as it appeared on the website - no surprises. This painting brightens the entire room in which it is displayed.
Hi Kathleen. I am so pleased you received your new painting promptly. Wish I could see the framing you've chosen and where it will hang. Enjoy.
Hi, Just wanted to thank you for the prompt shipment. I have the picture at the framers and I am very excited to hang it. Thank you, Kathleen
Thank you for looking, Mr. Moore; appreciate the response. I'll be submitting four new pieces in the next week or so. It's always great when someone takes notice.
Suzanne, very nice work.
Yes, Reggie, you have acquired six of my original oils. It means a great deal to me knowing that you love them. Thanks for the wonderful comments.

Love Suzanne's Work I think I have 6 of her paintings AWESOME!!!
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.
Beautiful piece of artwork. Looks wonderful framed and over our fireplace. Thanks
The very word an artist loves to hear. Thanks, Reggie.
I am so pleased to read this.
Reggie, you have made my day! Thanks for the lovely comments. A real pleasure to know you love your new art work. Wish I could see how they look installed. Now I can brag about my Minnesota and Texas collector.

It's always a thrill to hear from an art collector, pleased with their new acquisition. I never tire of it. My thanks for responding.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Your paintings are so awesome! I can't stop looking at Prairie Crossing. Thank you!
Thank you for taking a look. I am new to UGallery and yours is a first comment for me.
Amazing!
