Urban Landscape

Please click thumbnails for larger view.

Sue Averell began experimenting with urban landscape compositions in the early 1980s. She explored many other subjects and techniques over the years but it wasn’t until 1999 that technique and subject came together to make what Sue considers her first successful urban landscape painting.

As you explore this online gallery, you will find the oldest thumbnails from 1999 at the bottom of the page and her newest works appear at the top. These urban landscape images offer an interesting visual exploration of the way her paintings have evolved over recent years.

Sue’s exceptional skill as a colorist is illustrated in the progression of color changes that appear as you move through the series of displayed paintings. Sue mixes a variety of color pallets to create a particular color mood and reaction in the viewer.
