Hi!
Well, today's the day!
I get to use my new plein air easel all day long on the picturesque grounds of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores.
I just found out the event is SOLD OUT! Wow!
This week, in between three mural projects, I somehow found time to cut canvas panels down to fit these small frames. I'm taking twelve minis with me today along with a couple larger ones.
This is such a great event! The public is invited to come watch us paint and Ford House is letting us sell our work on the spot.
We also get to choose two works to enter in a competition later in the day and a paint party afterward.
I'm guessing that a lot of my fellow artists are old pros at this, but it's a thrilling first experience for me.
I don't know what the day will bring, whether my work will turn out great or if I'll struggle. Don't know what the competition will be like.
I don't even know if we will get rained out. If we do, I'm going home to deliciously sleep off the aches and pains from the rigorous mural work.
One way or another. I intend to enjoy the day thoroughly!
Off to adventure! I'll let you know how it goes.
