    Beautiful Suzanne!! A beautiful expression of freedom and letting go! Well that’s what I get from it, lol

    Well our weather is bad huh? lol

    lovely painting sweetie xxx

    hummm I am hoping I can be honest here. I am not crazy about this one. And hope we don’t get notices we can’t use Suzannes in forums if this might be considered a nono.
    I so love the tons and tons of packs I purchased. I sure want to use them. JMO 🙂 MaryD

    MaryD, I dont think that will be an issue. Some artists have more nudity and also some images show self pleasurement, lol like my wording? hehehe

    To me the new painting looks like 2 small children still growing up that have not lost there baby fat as yet.

    Its cute and part real and image in suzanne’s amazing style.

    WOW!! UK is on news news here because of snow UK. Scottish people just take it as its comes lol

    Hugs lee xx

    I’m with Mary I don’t like it much either.

  9. Sandy February 2, 2009 at 8:48 pm

    I still think it is awesome!! Just one more artistic side of Suzanne. One we might not be use to. 🙂

  10. Cynthia February 2, 2009 at 8:48 pm

    Oh WOW! Love the new painting! I dont have a problem with it, but if you tube it, you may have to do what the other companies do sometimes, make it both G rated and what it is now, though I do not find it obsene

  11. Joy February 2, 2009 at 11:20 pm

    I usually love the work that Suzanne does but I can’t say I like this one. Sorry.

  12. Cindy February 3, 2009 at 2:49 am

    I BIG THANK YOU!!
    I received my Canvas Wrap Prize in the Mail Tonite. My husband loves it and now my best friend loves it to. She is going to be making a purchase in your store!

    Hugs

    I’ll have to be honest too… I don’t like the last two paintings as well 🙁
    Not just because of the issue that they’ll be no-nos somewhere (cuz I’m sure that can be taken care of using scrapkits etc)
    I am totally in love with Suzanne’s work, but maybe it’s my nature and beliefs that go against any nudity in the pics. Esp. because the girls are girls, not women (if you know what i mean!)
    I hope it’s okay to post an honest opinion…
    Sorry if I offend anyone! not my intention at all.

  14. Annette February 3, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    I’m with Basima I’m afraid. I totally adore your work Suzanne and have almost every tube, scrapkit and element that you’ve made but If these were in a pack I wouldn’t buy them. I love the innocence of your paintings and I can understand you wanting to experiment but I think of Gorjuss as safe and these are not to my liking at all. Sorry if my views hurt a little but I hate any kind of nudity on tags. Hugs, Annette x

  15. Sammi February 3, 2009 at 1:06 pm

    I am a huge fan, but i dont like these ones at all. 🙁

  16. Belem February 3, 2009 at 5:45 pm

    I´m sorry about the bad weather and the snowfall but that is a beauty pic XD

  17. Beth February 3, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    I saw on the news last night how London was snowed under and I was wondering if Scotland had gotten hit hard too. Stay safe and warm!!!

    What I love about you guys is that you feel happy to comment either way, and I encourage that..

    These new paintings are part of a series, and are a necessary step in Suzanne developing her art… so please keep commenting but also keep watching to see where these take you…

  19. christy (aka christmaslover) February 3, 2009 at 10:19 pm

    I have read everyones reactions to these new drawings and I personally like them alot, But here is how I look at it, No matter how much you love an artist or LOVE a poet or a writer or a musician, there will always be something that they do that you do not like, that is ART! We have to look at it as this is how an artists expresses themselves, no matter what you see in the picture, someone else may see it totally different. and then again the artist sees it different as well.
    just my opinion

    Christy l totally agree. Art is just that Art and it comes in all styles some that l have done ppl dont like also but l have a few pieces that are unique that l was offered money for. Because it was unique and differnet.

    Hugs lee xx

  21. Sandy February 4, 2009 at 1:50 am

    I agree with Christy and we also need to remember Suzanne is an artist, not just a tube maker. Although I to have more tubes then actual prints/drawings, she is first and foremost an artist. I look at her art as such, and do not worry about where I can use them in tags. And if you are a member of JG and she tubes these images you can gladly use them!!!! 🙂

  22. MaryD February 4, 2009 at 2:58 am

    I was not going to add anything here as I posted my honest feelings. I may make some one mad at me, but my heart says say this. I love Suzannes art. she does need to draw and do what her heart and talent tells her to. I respect that. I guess for me my comments were
    selfish. I am a tagger, and love it. I found an artist I love and nothing ever said about it not being acceptable in groups/forums. Some of my forums still say no adult etc…Again thinking of myself I suppose, I even tho I own two prints framed now..and planned on many more.. use the 31 packs and element and scraps as a tagger for me was my reason for getting to know the Woolcotts and Suzannes art. Simple, sweet and for me anxious for every new pack that came out. I know art is art. I go to Thomas Kinkaids shop and have some of his art in my home.I also have modern art in my home too. So trying hard here to say this without looking stupid and again selfish.. I want Suzanne to create and do her talent. I only hoped for me ( JMO) packs would stay sweet and innocent.
    What I fell in love with. Before its said , I know I don’t have to buy them if I don’t like them. And thats ok. But I felt like I needed to explain without feeling like some thinking I was putting down Suzannes talent and art. She is a fine artist and I so wish her the best always. MaryD

  23. Grant Woolcott February 4, 2009 at 12:20 pm

    Mary,
    Comments are welcome… and these are not being drawn for packs… I know Suzy has some planned new stuff for you guys SOON….

    SO i shall see you then..

  24. popstrel February 4, 2009 at 1:28 pm

    hope the snow clears up for you soon! loving the new painting 😀

  25. Lauri February 5, 2009 at 1:26 am

    I Love the new painting Suzanne
    hope you and yours are keeping warm

  26. Susan February 5, 2009 at 3:10 pm

    While the talent is undeniable .. I have to agree that the latest artwork is some that I will not be purchasing. Really dislike on so many levels. Really hoping that this is not the general direction that Gorjuss is going.

  27. Susan February 5, 2009 at 3:13 pm

    I must also say .. while I agree that artist’s talent must grow and expand .. I’m not sure it needs to involve nudity whereas it was never a part of it .. at least not that we have known. I’m honestly really disappointed and sadenned.

  28. Eve February 5, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    Sorry Suzanne and Grant you had all that snow..hoping you have recovered from it….we did too..We had 1 ft. of it on Tuesday night.

    Suzanne I love your work and I am so in love with your tubes but, I too feel that the nude ones is not my taste..I know everyone has their own opinions about nudity..and you are expressing yourself..but, I feel that there is a place for nudes or semi nudes in another place or format..I am glad that they won’t be in any future packs your offer.

    Keep up the great work Suzanne and Grant, you both are awesome and I don’t think you know how much Joy and Happiness you have brought into our lives. Have A Great Day and Weekend coming up.

    Big Hugs

  29. Mouthie February 5, 2009 at 7:12 pm

    i love these new drawings.. and i would buy them if they were tubed.. nothing wrong with showing a lil boob here and there.. we are all adults.. and if we choose not to like it.. then so be it.. but me and Dboy we both love these lil images.. tysvm for these new images.. Suzanne
    Mouthie 🙂

  30. Susan February 5, 2009 at 9:59 pm

    Mouthie .. I think the problem I have is Suzanne’s pictures are representations of children or young girls .. so it’s this case it’s not a an adult showing a lil bit of boob. Unless the representations are of adults . but I didn’t see that was the case. I have no problem with SAC in some of the artist’s work that I use .. what I am uncomfortable with as I’m sure others are .. is that it’s representations of children or young girls nude. Really leaves me extremely uncomfortable as some others.

  31. Sandy February 5, 2009 at 11:18 pm

    True,I do not in any way advocate child pron, but I also do not recall Suzanne every saying how old her girls are meant to be. Yes we are all entitled to our opinions, but if we are not going to say them nicely maybe we need to take moms advice, if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. Or was that just my mom?

  32. Mouthie February 6, 2009 at 3:24 am

    yes my mom too taught me the saying if you cant say anything nice then dont say it at all.. i know alot of people who dont like the girls cause they dont have a mouth..but they still request suzanne’s work..we can understand everyones going to freak over a pair of boobs.. i have pay artists who show alot more then a pair of boobs.. same with free artists.. its up to the artist to draw, paint what they feel is in thier heart..i still love the new iamges..
