<bR> <div> <B>Susan Fehlinger</B></div> <bR> <div> Susan Fehlinger's pears are voluptuous. Light rests against each curve as it would on a body. The apples in her <I>Apples in a Black Bowl</I> flush so furiously that you understand not only why there are "apple-cheeked" children, but why apples have come to symbolize female desire, even sin. That is what Fehlinger does. She focuses on ordinary objects destined for our cutting boards and renders them surprisingly human, yet perfectly true to their own forms. It is not personification, but revelation. She sees the inherent character in a bunch of radishes, a melancholy eggplant, or a tomato on a windowsill beside the reflection of its own smooth cheek.Fehlinger has been painting professionally for only four years. As a littler girl, she painted with her mother and kept up the practice in her twenties.  But her childhood passion fell by the wayside during a successful career as a television producer in New York City. "I never gor a chance to paint," she explains, "but I always said `someday." That day came in 1997, when she decided to "quit everything, move to Cape Cod, and buy a bed-and-breakfast." Running painting workshops out of the B&B seemed like an easy way to get back into her own art, but Fehlinger found she was washing more dishes than brushes. She sold the inn, and soon after, her mother died.</div> <div> "It was a cathartic, healing period over that winter," she said. "I just kept painting, painting." Unable to paint outside, she went to the supermarket and brought home bags of produce. "I did 25 paintings that winter," she says. "I found the palette knife then."</div> <div> With palette knife and oils, she renders her subjects in bold strokes. You can see the motion of her hand in their surfaces. Sometimes, when she is unhappy, with the outcome of a painting, she simply turns the frame and starts over. Her Fresh Produce series was hung recently at the Brown Jog, a gourmet market in Sandwich center. </div> <bR> <div> We agree that creating art has everything to do with changing perspectives, the way a clapboard house can become a bowl of apples, or how beauty can be borne from grief. "That's what's so exciting about being an artist," she says, face aglow. "You get to keep growing."</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Originals">Originals</A>    <A HREF="id8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Prints">Prints </A>   <A HREF="id9.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sculpture">Sculpture</A>  <A HREF="id85.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newport Showcased Artist">Showcased Artist </A></div> <div> <A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newport Art Gallery">Art Gallery </A>   <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Us">About Us</A>   <A HREF="id5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us">Contact Us</A>   <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SHELDON FINE ART">Home</A></div> <bR> <div> Sheldon Fine Art, 59 America's Cup Avenue, Newport RI 02840</div> <div> Sheldon Fine Art,  5th Avenue South, Naples Florida 34102</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
