Redid 3 Paintings With an Easel
So my big sister got me a good-quality used easel. It’s been great. In the past week, I redid three paintings. The top one is a large 30×40, and took me 3 or so sessions. The bottom two are 16x20s, and I redid them more quickly. I think the easel will be a game-changer for…

2 30×40’s
30×40 is large. Next up I’ll try 24×24, which is square, and apparently different than painting rectangular canvases. I’m also sketching with pen in a 2026 diary book. Art, getting in shape, and living a healthier life are my priorities this year. Writing will take a back seat, but I may write short stories or…
