Finished! This was a really hard week, but I was glad to have the distraction. Next week I’m going to do a final post displaying all of these paintings together and let you know which ones are my favorites. Day 25. I was surprised to find these mandarin oranges with stems at my local supermarket….

2019 Strada Easel Challenge Days 18-24
Only seven days left! I’m so proud of myself for making it this far into the challenge. I can’t wait to see what I come up with for the final week. Day 18 went pretty smoothly once I figured out the composition. It turns out it isn’t the easiest thing in the world to make…
2019 Strada Easel Challenge Days 11-17
I’m halfway done!!! Actually, more than halfway. Only 14 days remaining in this 31-day challenge. I’m having a dilemma.

Sulfurous Orb Yellow Onion #2
This, the second onion, makes me think of a planet. I’m not sure exactly what about it makes me think that, but it’s just very out of this world. This little guy was a breeze to paint and I finished it durning a recent painting spree. During the spree I painted over 10 hours…
10 Minute Challenge
For Christmas I received Carol Marine’s book Daily Painting and immediately read it cover to cover. I really enjoyed the book and fell in love with the idea of doing 10 minute challenges. The idea is to divide a canvas or paper into 6 to 8 small sections and paint the same subject in each…
