JEANINE SUDINSKI (20th Century) "Winter Stream" Modern Landscape Watercolor Excellent condition Matted and Framed SIZE: 21" x 18" Text or Email with any Questions.......Thank You. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JEANINE SUDINSKI (1930- ) From an early age, Jeanine Sudiniski had two great passions in life: Art and Dachshunds. She attended her first dog show at the Chicago Sportsman's Pier when she was 18 years old. As Jeanine walked away she said to herself, "Someday I too will be a great showman." While living in the Chicago area she attended the prestigious Chicago Art Institute where her art talents flourished. In 1953 Jeanine and her husband went to Ft. Ord California to serve his time for a two year required military stay. Jeanine fell in love with Carmel and Monterey and began to paint watercolors. Her paintings began to sell quite well. As they did she began to think about seriously perusing a lifelong a career as an artist...and buying a dachshund. When my husband two years of duty was done we thought of taking a vacation trip down the California coastline and visit Gracie Greenburgh who lived in Simi Valley. We spent a whole afternoon at her house. She gave me a lot to think about learned so much from her. In 1954 her husband said, "Let's take our chances and go back to California." So off they went with Jeanine's brushes and their dachshund. They ended up in San Diego because it was a little coastal navy town at the time. Jobs were scarce, but her husband found work as a lab technician a Rohr Aircraft. He wanted something more secure with a retirement. There was an opening for Firemen in a little town east of San Diego called El Cajon. He applied along with eighteen others but got the job. He stayed on till his retirement as engineer, and a paramedic. In 1957 they bought a house on the hilltop ridge west of El Cajon, CA. It is a lot cooler than living in the valley and only twenty minutes from San Diego airport. The yard had twenty-five fruit trees and flowers with lots of birds. It was great for painting, raising children and dachshunds. She still lives in El Cajon, still loves her dachsunds, and is still painting to this day. Email or Text any Questions.....thank you.
