Day 152

Oh you thought I had stopped painting did you?  Proved you wrong!

What I love: This little belly and sister that put the star on it.  

May in Review

I don't really know how it's possible, but I've completed another month's worth of paintings.  It was kind of a rough month where I just kept hanging on.  I'm glad I stuck with it though.  It was a lot of work, but I love seeing the variety and the skill I've obtained.  Some of these paintings I didn't even draw out beforehand.  It's been kind of fun to see my good painting days and my bad painting days.

Day 151

Another cold, creamy dessert.

What I love: I think I could try a new place to eat everyday I'm here in Chicago and not get to all the good ones.  Today was Black Dog Gelato.  I got there different flavors: pistachio, maple ginger snap, and gianduja (which is basically Nutella).  They were all delicious.  Also, I'm loving walks on summer nights with friends.  Basically I'm loving all the walking that's been happening in my life.

Day 150

Let's talk about how I love ice cream...

What I love:  I love that Chicago is in abundance of ice cream places.  I seriously just love ice cream and if I could be nourished by it the rest of my life I'd be OK with that.  This new place was a funky little Latino place and their banana splits are delicious.

Day 149

Some days I just don't know what to paint.

What I love: Walks with my husband.  I didn't take any pictures or think anything was amazing in particular.  Sometimes I like days like that so I'm not stuck painting "things" all the time.  Sometimes I just love to play with color and pattern.

Day 148

This is a little view of friend's house.

What I love: Playing Just Dance with friends and eating copy cat Cafe Rio salads.  Girl's night might be the thing that saves me here in Chicago.

Day 147

While I'm not a huge fan of bars, considering I don't drink, this was a great night.

What I love: The Moth live!  Oh my goodness, it was so funny.  I loved the stories, the host, all of it. Well maybe not the $4 miniature empanada, but the entertainment was great!
