Suzanne Massion

Lake Mystery, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"What lies hidden in the middle of an oak woodland?" asks artist Suzanne Massion. Inspired by her discovery of this small lake years ago, Suzanne painted an early fall scene. She often returns to happily find it is still there. "I have painted the scene over the years. Oak trees grew to surround the water. Every season brings a change to what I see. I love the challenge to paint something new."

About the Artist
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.
