Here you will find quick links to my works in progress (WIP) at my blog site.

The image to the left will always be my latest project that I am working on though not always an updated image of my progress. 

All WIP's will be marked completed when I think there is no more to add.

It isn't unusual for me to re-visit work if I feel a painting needs more work done to it at a later time.

Window with a View 

There is an old building on the family property that I have often thought about painting a scene looking through a window and thought it would suit a landscape and still life combination.

About Susan_Borgas

The Flinders Ranges would have to be one of my favourite places to paint. The diversity of colour from one season to another is inspiring. There are a huge variety of scenes on offer, from flat plains to rugged mountains. Not forgetting all those wonderfully-aged Australian eucalyptus trees. One does not have to be an artist to enjoy the Flinders Ranges but when you are, the motivation to paint is exciting.
