March Painting Marathon - Day 21
It was a beautiful blue sky day. The wind was very strong. And it made my painting almost blow off the easel structure I built. So I got a large plastic bag from Tim Hortons and used that to tie the painting down and secure it. It was still pretty cold outside. But the sunshine was bright. So the paint was soft like marshmellow and stringy like spagetti. This made for a really nice conditions to paint. My fingers got cold. But the rest of my body was warm. Being outside... my eyes were were so open... the wind... sunshine tears of happiness.
