Cedarburg Plein Air
I spent the day in Cedarburg painting today. It was my third day there, & the first time I put together a painting I really like, and plan to put in the show (we can submit 2). This is the entrance & sign to one of the businesses (what a charming town!!). I enjoyed painting it, and feel like I'm making some progress on rendering architectural structures. Not a fan of painting straight lines & angles, but I think it's getting better. I need to get a better photo, but here it is for now.
Here it is framed for the show.

Artst Retreat Day
I had a really relaxed, focused day yesterday at another artists house. We spent the entire day painting, and both accomplished a lot! I did this new chicken piece. It was the third attempt, after 2 tries on a still life which did NOT work! I scraped it down twice & decided it was time to change subjects. So viola, a new chicken! I like him quite a bit, I think.
