"The Guest Bedroom, I" by Sally Shisler


(4x4")-201085; "The Guest Bedroom" -$75
The first of several interiors here. Boy - have I ever been missing out! There is a plethora of scenic views to be had in this place called the indoors. This series, if it becomes one during this week, will have to be done from photos. When I can't get out and about for plein air, I like to bring everything out into my back yard where I can still enjoy the outdoors. The fan must come along too in this heat. It's actually quite a lovely setup - under our beautiful Sycamore tree. This painting is done on a different canvas than most of the 20 or so paintings. It has much more texture and hand primed, etc. It's a bit rough for such a small area - great for the larger pieces, but not for small. I love the subtle palette I mixed here, though the dark hue got a little too close to black for my taste. Just the same, I love it!
