Salon at the Triton 2024 Winners

I am often intrigued by partners who paint together. How does one project their vision in concert with another? It is an exercise in trust, and valuing the creativity of each. Suzette and James have made tandem painting one of their trademarks. Sometimes they will each paint the same subject, to be shown side-by-side, while at other times — as in this painting — they will each contribute to the same canvas. I am intrigued not only by the decisions each make in composing the overall whole, but in the daringness they take as a team in portraying some parts in completion, while others are left to our imagination, as if in fleeting visions captured by paparazzi’s cameras.
