"A Sparkle in the Hills" by Sally Shisler


"A Sparkle in the Hills" (4x4")-201055
The blues AND the greens.... and the spark of a life being lived in the mountains. One of my favorite past times is making up stories about someone else's life. I found it much easier to entertain myself with this out there in the countryside. Probably because there wasn't a heap of people packed in like sardines. The inspiration for this painting was so far in the distance; just a tiny speck of light that appeared to be hitting the edge of a rooftop - probably that of an old farming family. Not to cut you off there, but right now I had a more important thing to write about. I'm sure many or even most of you know who Leslie Saeta and Dreama Tolle Perry are. OK - if not, and you are a bloggin' artist, you MUST check out their new venture, ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS. I just became aware of their blog radio show a few days ago, and am just bowled over at their knowledge, talent & generousity with their time. These are two very gifted ladies who apparently never, ever sleep! It's a must see & hear!

  1. Thanks so much Rose! I have done several palette knife painting workshops in the past, and I plan to schedule 2 for later this year. If you'd like, I can add you to my list so that you are notified. Just let me know! Don't think me email address contact link is appearing above, so just use scshilser@gmail.com. Glad you were able to delve into Leslie & Dreama's radio show some. Maybe you already knew about them ?
