About Susan Skove (skovsilk.wordpress.com)

I’ve created this blog to record and share my new work. For the past 20 years I’ve painted  on silk, mostly as art to wear, but also some wall pieces. I started to do some “portraits” in silk a year ago. Some examples of these can be found on skovsilk.wordpress.com  I realized that the work on silk would be enhanced if I honed my people painting  and drawing skills. With the silk I am not at all going for a likeness but am interested in the spirit or feel of the image. With the drawing and painting mediums  I am attempting realism (hopefully with soul). So far I see a movement between the silk and the other mediums in the sense that they grow each other.  And the scarves?  They too benefit from my expanding into another media and focus.
