SUSAN LUCA was a gentle presence on many of the Newburyport Ten outings.
A member of an artistic family, her soft brushwork and harmonious colors evoked an affinity with Tonalist painters.
I was impressed when, in the winters, Susan would create a necklace with a gorgeous piece of stone, often patterned agate, and then make a watercolor painting to accompany it. —Margery Jennings
