Day 30 #stradaeasel

Woo hoo done!

It's another rainy AF day here in the land of enchantment (1.8" in 48 hrs). Tbh I just want to sit by the fire and read about Tara Selter's day.

Day 30 #stradaeasel challenge!

I'm really proud of myself. There were a lot of times I could have easily, understandably, adjusted the parameters I set for myself with this challenge. But I didn't, and now I have 30 paintings to show for it.

Clamping down the challenge. It was fun and I think I learned many things. Thanks for looking!

Day 28 #stradaeasel challenge

This month has been an incredible, rewarding experience but it's also been exhausting and all-consuming. But the relationships I make between myself and fellow painters, new painters, my artwork, my city, my bullheadedness in sticking to my plan...it's all worth it.

Day 28 #stradaeasel
I thought I might wrap up the month the way I started with some more produce to see if I learned anything.

Like often happens, someone sat down in the seats I was drawing and I didn't want to weird them out. #stradaeasel day 28

#stradaeasel day 26
These days I have to wear glasses to draw my glasses.

Day 26 #stradaeasel challenge

I cannot, frankly, recommend painting plein air during a nor'easter. But I am nothing if not a stubborn perfectionist...

I'll be going out tomorrow, too, after all!

Day 26 #stradaeasel
Just a little guy this time.
