Flowers still here in Oct...

​Flower beds used to be put to rest even when they were still in their prime…
Just because it is Fall..
Over the moon elated to see they were intact when I arrived …
Still giving delight and joy to all who lay eyes on them..
Was drinking in the dizzying, vivid colours and textures…
Sigh .. Good Night, Beautiful World. 😊❤️🎉

#stradaeasel challenge completed for September. A painting a day for 30 days…
Was concerned I might not be able to finish on top of other obligations..
Dinner was late on many nights..😂. One can have balance in life..
But just not perfectly all the time ..
Many of these paintings will need some fiddling..
But they already served me the purpose of making me paint from life and out in the open air..
For a mole with reclusive tendencies..
That was a good thang.. 😂. Enjoy a new day tomorrow, dear friends 🌸❤️🌈

​
After a day of painting with differently abled students inside, went out to paint this scene outside a daycare centre .
A Dad walked up behind me with a squirming, excited 31/2 year old…
She looked so eager to join in that I offered; “Would you like to try?”and handed her my brush.. The Dad stepped forward and she gave an immediate, energetic swipe which rearranged the leaves in my front flower bed …

The Dad thanked me profusely and whisked her away as she was about to reach out for my solvent..
I piped after him:
‘Pay attention to that.. she is very keen.. make sure you support her!”.
And I am going to keep my rearranged flower bed.. I like it … just had to reblossom some flowers.. 😂
Thank you for the reminder to paint fearlessly like a kid.. Have a Good Evening, dear friends 🌸❤️🌈

Day 29 #stradaeasel
In between classes..
Drove around for a place to stop for a quick lunch & painting…
Don’t even know the name of the street
But it had parking where I could paint right by my car…
If only every scene I ever wanted to paint…
I could just spill out of the car & set up. 🤣
Have to conserve energy for my afternoon private student.. 😄
May you rev up energy for another brand new day tomorrow. ❤️🌈🌸

Day 26 #stradaeasel Covid has forced me to stay home…
And appreciate the beauty in my own backyard…
Love, Laugh, Live, Lead where you live…
Try saying that fast 10 times without tying your tongue into a knot.. 🤣. May you wind down gently into the last hours of your evening… 🌓🌜🌟🌹

Day 25 #stradaeasel 
From my painting vantage point…
While working on my chosen scene…
I can’t help but enjoy the many going ons about me..
A Mom & her two children beach combing..
A dog earnestly running through the waves to fetch the stick its master threw it…
A couple of teenage girls squealed as the dog shook its wet fur at them..
A Birthday song poked through my concentration..
A man walked by..
‘Would you like to see my photos of this place at 7am?”
“Wow!”
Sigh… looks like I will have to return at 7am.
“Very little chance I”ll get here for 7am though “ I sadly admitted.
“No worries…I’ll send you whichever photos you would like…
Sigh … I meet such sweet generous souls along the way..
Bless you kind Sir.. 😊
Good Night Beautiful World 🙏🏽🌸🌈. HmmMy tree looks like a donald duck..will fix that later although I love Donald Duck 🤣
