Grin and Bear It

I decided to take the September 2023 Strada Easel Challenge to paint from life and post to Instagram (and Facebook) every day of the month.

Grin and Bear It was painted Day 1 of the challenge -- on September 1, 2023. My model was a Jellycat plush toy purchased from the Inn at Negley in Pittsburgh where we stayed during the Shadyside Art Festival weekend.

Price includes a gallery quality wood frame ... in which this painting looks gorgeous.  I'll try to get a photo of it framed up here asap.

The rest of my Strada Easel challenge paintings can be seen on Instagram @jillbanks1 and on Facebook @JillBanksStudio.
