    I’ve been saving Susan Ritz’s work for fall, which officially arrived this morning at 5:05 am EST.  I tend to think of watercolors en plein air, but Susan brings them inside the gate and the home where she makes them cozy and comfortable.  The fabrics, the cushions, the shadows, even the the dogs’ internal dialogues, all have dimension in her work. You can tell what each one is thinking and feeling.  It’s interesting to compare her paintings to Mary Ludington’s photographs from yesterday.  Primal animals vs. domestic pets.  The duality of dogs, continually challenging us, just like the seasons.
