"Sandcastles & Sunshine" by Sally Shisler
(4x4") - 201211
Bright hot sunshine - blinding even; hopefully. In painting, as in life, everything is relative. Nothing exists
without at least one counterpart. Thank God for that. And yet I
frequently find myself with tunnel vision, forgetting this basic
concept. I must practice the habit of disengaging from a 'problem' at
the very moment I become aware of it. When something starts to look
hopeless and troublesome, remember that there's always at least one
other way to have a look at it, and always a way out : )

The longer I stood by the pond, the more I began to see and when that Great White Heron appeared... I just had to paint him in! This complex little painting is simply an illustration of a colorful morning in May. And every other artist painting around the pond created their own unique vision... ordering chaos into paint on canvas.

"Skinny Dipping", II by Sally Shisler
See "Skinny Dipping, I" below to complete the pair!
(4x4") - 201210
This
painting completes a pair - see the first Skinny Dipping a few posts
down. It's a trick trying to render a nude figure whilst maintaining a
pure quality. Nothing wrong with a little seduction. But I feel that an
image with even the slightest bit of 'sexy' takes too much away from
the virtues of the painting in and of itself. The smallest twist in the
stance of the figure can make a huge difference. Hips, in particular,
and shoulders too. I'm not convinced that I didn't avoid it, but I did
give it a try.

"Walking in the Hills", by Sally Shisler
(4x4") - 201209
I
came across a few more of Potthast's paintings that reeled me in. More
that I had to challenge myself with. Hats seem to be hard for me and
I'm not sure why. They're shapes are so simple. You have to remember to
follow the shape of the head that's underneath - otherwise the hat can
end up looking like a top hat, or a chef's hat - or just plain
buffoonery. I've learned SO much from these little studies that I'm
hoping to carry over into larger paintings of my own subjects. Right
now I'm working on a commission - my first attempt at translating the
tiny to the huge. I really prefer working with wet, juicy paint. Easy
to do when there's not much space to cover. Much harder with a large
piece because of the obvious additional time it takes to develop the
image. I'm going to post it when it's finished and will talk a little
about the insights I've gained during the process. Happy Memorial Day!!
