April Pond

"April Pond" is an original pastel on paper, measuring 16x20 inches. The piece is presented in a custom frame measuring 24x38 inches, ready to display.

From Bill Suttles’ Appalachian Landscape Collection, this work reflects his six decades of painting professionally across the Southeast. Bill graduated the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1950 and credits the Art Institute’s Impressionist Collection, Wolf Kahn, Irwin Greenberg, and Coralie Tweed as key influences.

Suttles is recognized for his painterly approach rooted in impressionism, working in pastels, oils, acrylics, charcoal, and markers. Known for his expert use of color, he captures light, atmosphere, and mood in ways that invite viewers to share in the emotional depth of his vision.

His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the Southeast, including the River Gallery (Chattanooga), The District Gallery (Knoxville), and the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association. He has also received recognition in The Pastel Journal and the Southeastern Pastel Society.

Each piece offered is an authentic work by Bill Suttles, a Georgia-based artist whose career began in illustration for Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines in the 1960s before turning full-time to fine art.
