"Not Forgotten" by Sally Shisler

(4x4")-201084; "Not Forgotten" -$75
The shack - maybe it was a love shack - who knows? Sure didn't look like one to me from the outside looking in, but you never know. This painting ends my week long visit with entryways. Yes, I realize you couldn't get in through this side of the building. Unless you climbed through the window. What was fun with this was no direct lighting - just the diffuse glow of an overcast day. The greens are mixed with gamblin's pthalo green. It's a very nice blue-green, one that turns out to be comfortable for me to work with. Greens can be tricky - scary even! But this one is a keeper. It dawned on me while I was painting this that I usually interpret the angles of buildings quite literally - you know, right angles to the canvas edges. The cockeyed slant of this worn out shack helped me to see more design possibilities for my paintings. Little breakthroughs are wonderful, no?
