Welcome to SusieMooArt!

My name is Susan, I am an oil painter and I accept commissions, submit to exhibitions and am constantly working on personal projects.
While working on commissions, each one is painted to the clients’ specifications, on high quality canvas, boards or wooden discs. Using photographs as the source and collaborating closely with clients this allows me to ensure the paintings I produce are exactly to their wishes.

I took up painting a little later in life and more recently it has become my obsession. Over the years I have experimented with many different mediums including pastel, acrylic and water colour, I now accept that oils are a natural fit for my style of painting. The consistency and the way oil paints handle feels completely natural to me and I never tire of discovering new mixes of colour, in fact I find the process of mixing paint with palette knives to be incredibly rhythmic and soothing.

I have spent years experimenting with various types and brands of oil paints, for years using fast drying alkyds and more recently moving over to traditional long drying oil paints. In particular, I find the colour saturation and high standard of Michael Harding oil paints simply astonishing and they are now my go to oils.

Hugo & Harry

Hugo and Harry, the gorgeous duo above were painted with oil paints, which was completed in March 2024. The owners were delighted with the result – here’s what Nigel thought of the painting – “On the reveal day we were delighted with the end result. You can pick up the character of each dog through the painting. Excellent work. We are very satisfied customers”. – you can read the full review here .
