I really dig this Happenstance painting by Susan Hargus. It is really eye-catching. It’s an unusual image. You have to look more than once. It almost looks ghostly.

She says it was inspired by a chance location of an apple and a lit candle. I always am so surprised when common things are portrayed in a new context or light to make a beautiful picture.

She says, I am always inspired by circumstantial situations of beauty, and of how it presents itself.

Susan is in the Saatchi gallery. She lives and works in Iowa.
