Day 28: #stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge #stradaeaselchallenge2022 This reminded me of the Red Wheelbarrow poem by William Carlos Williams #somuchdependsuponaredwheelbarrowglazedwithrainwaterbesidethewhitechickens 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDteOZJzz6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 27: Early morning sketch in the park. The best part about pleinair painting is that your eye sees so much more color and mood than you would get from looking at a photograph. #stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge #stradaeaselchallenge2022 @strada.easel #paintingdaily #digitalart #ipadprocreate #ipadsketching #pleinairpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CjACQlAr_b8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 24: African bush daisies also known as bull’s-eye. I spotted these bright sprightly flowers as they popped out against a blanket of deep green leaves, and just had to stop and paint them! #stradaeaselchallenge #stradaeasel #stradachallenge2022 #paintingflowers #landscapes #pleinairpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5DNypp3Sz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 20: Creeping daisies. The real challenge in painting this was composing the picture - seeing only what you need to see. As with any landscape, it’s easy to get carried away painting every little detail. I’m constantly trying to keep this in mind as I paint from life and hope I’m doing a better job at it! So grateful to be surrounded by such beauty, I end up finding a jewel to paint everyday!#stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge #stradaeaselchallenge2022 @strada.easel #digitalpainting #timelapse #paintingflowers #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CitnMMLpG0E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 15: This eucalyptus grove near our house sways, bends and dances with the wind and seems to have ‘moods’ of it’s own with every passing hour and change in light. It was particularly broody and expressive today. I forgot to take a picture, but here’s an older photo for comparison. #stradapaintinganddrawingfromlife #stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge2022 #stradachallenge #stradaeaselchallenge @strada.easel #digitalpainting #procreateartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiNr6npntR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 13: Roses. The winds were so gusty and chilly as I painted these this morning. I felt my fingers freeze but went ahead and stayed longer to finish the painting #stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge2022 #stradaeaselchallenge @strada.easel #roses #paintings #paintingflowers #paintingroses https://www.instagram.com/p/Cicl_mYp9wu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 11: Rain Lilies. Spotted these delicate flowers surrounded by weeds dancing wildly in the breeze, and I just had to paint them! #stradaeasel #stradaeaselchallenge #stradaeaselchallenge2022 @strada.easel #digitalpainting #procreate #digitaloilpainting #flowers🌸 #flowerpaintings #rainlilies #pleinairpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CiX1ivppdFE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
