Day 12 - Above Makawao

Very voggy day on Maui.  Though the haze is hard for some people it makes landscapes interesting.  The sunlight was wonderful!  Not happy with the foreground so will be heading back up to finish it one of these days.  #stradaeasel

Day 11 - Copy paper and ball point pen.

Day 11 - unexpectedly found myself in ER today and so did a life sketch on the back of something there.  Top of a tray table.  Enjoyed drawing it!  Everyone is fine and back to painting today -

Day 10 - No White Paint

Left the white paint in my studio - darn it!  So carved out the values with paint and will go back again - hopefully Friday morning.  Day 10 of Strada 31. #stradaeasel

Day 9 - Paint Tubes

Day 9 of 31.  Having fun.  This is almost finished.  Am going to leave it for a couple days.  Painting in Makawao tomorrow morning and in Keokea on Wednesday.  Expect to finish it on Thursday.  Will post a better pic then.  Thank you for visiting -   #stradaeasel

This has been a fantastic impetus for me to regain a great painting routine after several months needing to be caregiver for several family members.  Everyone is fine - but it's been tough to be away from the paint.

Day 8 Eggplants

Was tough to get to the paint today - wonderful family weekend.  Just squeezing this one in...

Day 7 of the Strada 31 Challenge

A day at the beach with my boys.  Mixed media study done with pens, water soluble pencil, watercolors and casein in small Moleskine watercolor book.  Moody ocean.  Wonderful to be outside after all the rain we've had.  #stradaeasel

Day 6 of Strada 31

Nope - didn't finish.  Fixed some drawing problems and made progress.  Had more fun than yesterday if that's possible.  Painting on the beach tomorrow. Ah......  can't wait.  This palette is a bit unusual for me - so many colors.  A warm and cool of each primary plus a transparent red oxide.  Strada 31. Day 6. #stradeasel
