It's dogwood time in Appalachia! Any day now the landscape of North Carolina, Virginia etc. will burst into bloom. If my #1 have to be in the mountains time is fall, spring runs closely as 2nd.

Bursting Forth, Oil Painting of Yellow Tabebuia Tree by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist
"Bursting Forth"! This oil painting seems to capture spring time and the Easter season. The blooming yellow tabebuia is one of my fav trees. Although this one is sold, I'm working on more. Love them! Florida springtime at its finest!

Glorious Tabebuia, Spring Tree in Yellow by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist
"Glorious Tabebuia"....What a beautiful sign of spring when the tabebuia trees are in full bloom! I painted this one before the rains washed away the blossoms. Very thick paint and a reminder of spring! 9x12 original oil on canvas.

"Afternoon Fun" after EH Potthast

Bon voyage.....
At last, our summer vacation has arrived! We'll be heading out tomorrow
morning; returning next weekend. I will not be bringing my painting
equipment, but will have my camera close by. This is one of the years
we'll go to Anna Maria Island here in Florida. PLENTY of beach scenes!
All I'm bringing is my suit, hat, sunscreen & flip flops. Oh - a beach chair too (critical). Today's painting was all about cadmium yellow. It's a tricky one, to be sure. For me anyway. It rather goes along with the last study I did of Potthast (below), Balloon Vendor. Though this time I really wanted to explore what cool, cold weather light looks like. This too is on gesso board. I'm loving it!
Don't forget - if you happen to be in the Orlando area during the month of July, you can see my paintings in person at Steinway Piano Gallery (SEE BELOW ANNOUNCEMENT FOR INFO). There will be an artists' reception on Thursday July 12th, from 6-9. It's not likely that I will be able to be there, but I will have a 'spokesperson' there to talk to. I can also meet people by appointment anytime after July 16th.
There's much in the works lately, and though you haven't heard from me in over a week, rest assured I am working away at organizing my upcoming year. Workshop Survey will hopefully go out tonight. However - as you know, I am known to have a hard time doing things exactly when I hope too.
Anyone who has recently asked, I've put you on the list of artists who are interested and you will be part of the survey. I want to get some idea of where and when the vast majority of folks would be able to attend.

"At the Beach" (yellow skirt) by Sally Shisler
(4x4") - 201215

I have some 4x4" gesso board that's been laying around for a while, and I finally decided to go ahead and give it a try for painting. My usual surface is Centurion oil primed linen that I cut down and mount onto gator board. It's been my preference for about 2 years (after I went on a spree buying and trying all different kinds of 'stuff' to get the best of what I'd need to kill as many birds with one stone as possible). I really enjoyed the gesso board though I believe there was some absorption of the paint rather than what I'm used to with the linen. The linen allows the paint to sit on top of the surface more. Just the same, I think I'll do several more like this to see where it goes.

About
workshops - so many have asked, and yes, I still do them and I am in the
process of putting together the next few for this year. Probably will
aim for 2 more. (Next year I will be teaching in GA, and hopefully in
TX - thanks to the honor of being invited as a Signature Member of Contemporary Fine Art International). I have also put feelers out for the central NJ area). I'll keep everyone posted.
Anyone who has asked, I've put you on the list of artists who are interested.
Finally, I believe I'm going to send out a short questionnaire soon to ascertain who is interested in studying what. My endeavors & methods have changed a lot since I first began teaching a few years ago, and I'd hate to plan something that not everyone was expecting.

"Walking in the Hills" 2 by Sally Shisler (after EH Potthast)

Many of my most popular paintings have numerous purchase requests. For those who miss out, I always offer to paint a new version just for them (commission, if you will). This is the second painting that I've done of this image. The first one is a few posts below - it sold right away. There are major differences in the two versions - on purpose, so that I'm not simply repainting the exact same thing. The first version has a very high contrast quality with super white whites & dark darks. I LOVE working this way, mainly because I'm pretty sure how to get the effect I'm looking for directly without spoiling the looseness and freshness of the paint application. Today's version has several mid-range gray valued colors. All are on the warm side of color temp, but some are warmer than others. I'm thrilled that it's success comes not from strong contrast, but from well developed areas of local color.
I also wanted to thank all of you who have been leaving comments and emailing me. It's wonderful to hear from so many people! Of course, with that comes the pressure to try and get back to everyone - which I have to say that I'm not very good at. I have good intentions, but those are worthless without some action.
