A black/blue, white and brown hued art piece with two themes. First, there is a sea life theme, exhibiting two very large fish, along with some other sea creatures and seaweed. The other theme is a residential type theme showing two brown apartment buildings set against a sky with clouds, a triangle, multiple circles, and birds., Dyann Alkire; etching; handcolored with watercolor; sea air; 20x25 inches; 1986, I like etching because I like to draw. Things such as deep sea life, insects, birds, fish, and architectural structures appeal to me, and I combine them in my compositions. Each piece has a certain theme that just evolves as I work on the plate, rather than having a set idea from the beginning.

Suzanne Duryea has become known to Northwest art viewers for her rich oil paintings of animated objects personified in a narrative atmosphere of glowing color. Romantic yet humorous, these paintings emphasize a vigorous nature that is immortalized in pain, creating a symbolic tone. The glossy surfaces of the paintings on paper (22" x 30") become more textural on canvas as the actual working surface expands (7' x 5').
