Daily Painting 1430 Wednesday's Winds Tropical Storm Debby

I took some photos of the outer band winds of tropical storm Debby on Tuesday but I painted this last night on Wednesday and one of my friends suggested the title.   I enjoyed the storm, we didn't have any damage and there was just enough wind to be interesting and not scary. The painting is 12 x 16 oil on masonite, lots of nice texture. This is a view of the Indian River, the opposite shore is covered by the approaching rain.  $500.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING AT SIESTA KEY

Squirrels By The Path, gouache on paper, 12 in. x 9 in.
I painted this en plein air this morning at the picnic area at Siesta Beach in Siesta Key, Florida.  It was a relatively cool morning.  The squirrels came over while I was sketching, so I sketched them right into my composition.  My website is at Sharon Guy Art.

"At the Beach" (yellow skirt) by Sally Shisler


"At the Beach" (yellow skirt) after EH Potthast
(4x4") - 201215
Subscribe now to receive my newsletter, "Even More". 
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.
