#stradaeasel Day 1 Jan 1 2022 Every year, I pick one word as my challenge word and I study all I can about that word. Last year was composition. But with 2 losses in my family and the bulk of my year lost, I don’t feel I completed this word. So this year, my focus word is design. I wanted to arrange the elements in such a way that you the viewer could get to my focal area and all the elements were part of the structure. See photo 2 for how I structured the design around my focal area (as well as the paints I used) and tell me - can you see it in the final image? 💝 #impressionism #fineart #raymarpanels #rosemarybrushes #pleinair #paletteknife #paintingfromlife #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #allaprima #outdoorpainting #placetopaint #limitedpalette #impressionist #Floridaartist #enpleinair #allaprimapainting #pleinairmag #traditionalart #instagramartist #vasari #floralpainting #stilllife #roses #floralarrangement #mgraham #stradaeaselchallenge

Repost from mydogsfollowers • This is Basil. At least, this is Basil on a certain day when his hair went a certain way. You might not know him on another day when his hair goes in another direction. Does he change underneath, while his hair lives a life of its own? I don’t think so. Although Basil spent some time on the streets of L.A., he’s now living the good life in Portland. It’s sunbeams in winter, AC in summer and a rain jacket for the rest of the year. Basil loves runs on the beach, long hikes, naps and snacks, in that order, except for snacks. Snacks in between and during every activity are preferred. He is lucky enough to go to the office with his hooman where there is a mailman that gives him treats! His best non-human pal is the.little.white.wolf Honestly I’m not sure that I painted enough fur on this floof ball. Check him out basilthebrave and let me know what you think. This dog is the pinnacle of scruff. #poochichon #dogsofpdx #pets #oregon #portlandnwdogs #pdx #pupsofthepnw #pnw #mutt#scruffmuppetsunite #dogportrait #dogart #gouache #gouacheonpaper #paintonpaper #cansonpaper #mgrahampaint #carriewalker #canadianart

Remember that one time, back when I said I was gonna do a large Quincy Quarries painting? Well I did it over the past week. You can swipe to see the process shots. It was six sessions and who knows how many hours. You can see it in person now at Woodman Shimko Gallery in Ptown. DM me for more info. Twilight of the Gods, oil on canvas, 36x48"

This 5-color palette (plus white) is great for a wide variety of landscape scenes. I painted this 12”x16” on location outdoors with m.grahamco titanium white, bismuth yellow, yellow ochre, viridian, anthraquinone red (permanent alizarin crimson) and ultramarine blue. A wide color range with just a few tubes of paint to carry. 👍👍 #mgraham #mgrahamoils #ojai #mgrahamambassador #limitedpalette

In DC, across the tidal basin from the Jefferson Memorial this morning. Loved adding the lil people for size reference on day 39 #gouache #dc #jeffersonmemorial #pleinairartist #gouachepainter #allaprima #dailypainting #paintingoutside #enpleinair #mgraham #artistsdiary #pattivincentstudio #nopleinnogain #coloradoartist #pleinairmag

louis_dibiccari of creategalleryandcocktail commissioned this painting of easternstandard for the owners who closed the restarant this past year. Here is why it meant so much to so many: "Eastern Standard was where our generation of restaurant people went to gather. It was capable of balancing a Red Sox bar crowd with special occasions happening in the dining room. It's where we went for birthdays, anniversaries, going away parties, etc. They were the first real nationally recognized cocktail bar in Boston. It birthed some of the best managers, chefs & bartenders in the city." Needless to say it will be missed. My wife thinks this painting will be famous one day. Swipe to see the painting framed and cradled by the ES people.

When I was mourning my friend, this ladybug landed on my hand at the studio. I grabbed a pencil and sketched it out on theis panel. She flew away and then I made the 30 timelapse from memory, which is in my reels. I'm not sure if I believe in spirits or reincarnation or anything. But it was comforting to hang out with this little bug for a few minutes.

I never shared the finished Unicorn Balloon. Oil on canvas 42x32". You can see timelapse footage of the painting in my reels.

Jump in the Jeep and go paint. That’s how I ended the day on #stradaeasel day 29 #gouache #pleinairartist #gouachepainter #allaprima #dailypainting #paintingoutside #enpleinair #mgraham #artistsdiary #pattivincentstudio #nopleinnogain #coloradoartist #pleinairmag #itsajeepthing #jeepwrangler
