initial block-in

I’ve been away for more than a week. I was at the hospital last week for 7 days helping and supporting my partner while he gets his treatment for Miller Fisher syndrome. I needed a couple of days to get back on track. Now I’m back! and daily painting from life resumes tomorrow. ♡

Day 3

i don’t know if it is the humidity or what, but the paint gets quite tacky fast and it was harder to move the paint and to layer.
not the best painting session

Day 2 painting from life

Day 1 of daily painting from life

One of my goals for this year is to paint better and more consistent, so I am continuing what we did from the January Strada challenge into my daily studio practice.

Term 8 Assignment at done!
I already feel good about entering the second quarter of the year 🖤

Thank you for all the advice, feedback, and cheering on!
