Back to an itty bitty. Still intrigued by these little figures against the dark backgrounds. The beachy paintings seem to be far more appealing to my long time followers, but I just can't resist the fun of making small notes of light to define the musical instruments and the features of the figures in dark interior lighting. This one got a little bit further away from my usual colorful work than I would have liked, but I recognize the value in painting mono-chromatically. More fun news - I have been asked to have a solo show at a gallery in Winter Park Florida!  I am in the process of making arrangements with the gallery owner and the dates/location will soon be announced.  This will be the first real solo show for me. I'd better get working - even more.

• Announcing one day, 3 hour intensive COLOR MIXING sessions at my studio, Sally Shisler Palette Knife Painting Studio, in Winter Garden Florida.  These sessions are designed to help students prepare for their own paintings that they will paint at home with their premixed palette. This is all about thorough color mixing; not actual painting. Each student will be provided with a high quality color print of their selected photograph with a clear breakdown of which colors will be mixed. Preparing a palette of clean, harmonious color before putting knife/brush to canvas gives you a head start on a successful painting. Sessions are held on the second Saturday of each month. Cost is $50. Beginner-Advanced. Space is limited to six students. Please call or email me at 321-331-3045 or scshisler@gmail.com to secure your spot.
