- First plein air (or plein smoke) session of the year - a backyard painting in melting ice to commemorate the weather event. Contrast was the focus here: light and dark, hot and cold, blurred and sharp. 10"x8" casein on watercolor paper #pleinair #iceandfire #winter #icestorm #painting #casein
- Live sketching an aerial lyra hoop performer as she practiced a routine #urbansketching #watercolor #art
- #urbansketching in 3 colors of gouache (ultramarine, burnt sienna, and white) on casein-toned paper. Little scenes from a meetup of other sketchers inside a building. #art #sketches

- Painted in near-freezing weather with casein for the first time at a Christmas tree farm. I overlooked that my paint set did not include white, so I had to work transparently like watercolor mostly. #pleinair #casein #farm #winter
- Some of the sketches I did at Cars and Coffee this morning. Got lots of passing admirers and even sold the first one I did (not pictured) #urbansketching #pleinair #automotiveart #watercolor #founatainpens
