Day 6 - Strada Easel January Challenge
I am participating in the Strada Easel January Challenge. Quite a commitment - a painting a day for 31 days! It has to be a subject that you are looking at. Not from a photo. And it must be painted AND posted that day! Currently there are 876 participants from all over the world. But as the days go by, people drop out. Five lucky winners from the remaining participants will be chosen at the end of the challenge and will get to select a Strada Easel of their choice!
The rules: Do a painting or drawing from life each day (i.e. a work of art done while you are looking at the subject from life-not from a photo or imagination). These subjects may include still life, interiors, figure, and landscapes.
I love the light that comes through the blinds and creates shadows on the walls. Thought I'd try to capture it...
Starting with the plant in the front left corner, clockwise, the plants on my little table are... my favorite houseplant, a Prayer Plant (I have always had one in my home since the early 70's...), English Ivy in back, a spindly little poinsettia that my good friend Ginnie gave me two years ago (sadly she is gone now) and a little houseplant with yellow-speckled leaves.
