Susan Zulauf's Water Lilies

A square composition of unhurried beauty, Susan Zulauf's Water Lilies arrives hand finished on framed canvas with a depth that rewards close attention — gel and satin surfaces layered beneath the quiet opulence of gold and silver leaf. At thirty-seven inches square, the work carries the authority of a considered architectural moment, neither portrait nor landscape but something more meditative in its symmetry. The wooden frame, finished to the same exacting standard as the canvas it holds, completes the piece as a unified object rather than an afterthought.
