"At the Beach" after Edward H. Potthast
"At the Beach" after Edward H. Potthast (4x4") - 201214
Hats
and umbrellas; umbrellas and hats... For whatever reason, they are a
challenge. More importantly, I want to discuss the inclusion of a black
person. Because everything I've painted up until now has been creamy
white folks. One of my husband's best friends is black. She asked me the
other day why I haven't ever including someone black. What can I say?
It was a terrific question! I have to tell on myself and say I just
never had the occasion to or even thought of it. Black skin has a
wonderful quality with MANY more variations in color and value than that
of white skin. From rich dark prussian blue hues, to light caramelly
tones, it offers lots of mixing fun!

Daily Painting 1420 Indian River Shore Line
"Beach Time" by Sally Shisler
"Beach Time" (4x4") - 201213
Contemporary
subject; classical colors. I wanted to break out a little bit, tone
things down from the last few posts. Again (like in the Skinny Dipping
paintings-sexy nude), I was wary of this piece being pigeonholed into a genre (cutesy mother, child)
taking away from any merits it might have as just a painting. I really
love working with very dark darks - the transparent ones. Sap green,
alizarin crimson & ultramarine blue. Mixed together, they create
succulent colors. I had been trying out the M. Graham oils for a
while. Very good quality pigment that has walnut oil for the medium.
Not to mention very nice tube openings and tops. I thought it might cut
down on the amount of walnut oil I use when I'm mixing my paint. But it
didn't. Also, as much as I wanted the brand to work, it was just too
pasty for me. I'm back to the good old Winton & Georgian
brands. These are student grade, but in my opinion, the best for what I
do.

Daily Painting 1419 Incoming Florida Egret oil painting
"Crashing In" by Sally Shisler
"Crashing In" (4x4") - 201212
This
was SO much fun! You'll note that the bright white is actually from
some glare off the outdoor light source (the sun). It hits where the
paint has the most depth, which is usually a challenge to get around
when photographing the paintings. (There is a way around this). But
with this scene, the sparkles show me exactly where I can go back in and
place pure white paint to suggest the waves even more effectively.

"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 : )

Diane Mannion, AMERICAN LOTUS, 6X6" oil
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.
