I left my day job last Tuesday. Reached retirement age on Wednesday, and got up at 4 on Thursday, to go out painting.
Wrestled with a 10x12 of a spot I'd noticed walking to work, and considering I hadn't done any plein air painting in, what, three years? It went pretty well.
I had a hard time opening some of the paint tubes. The caps had locked shut, stuck fast with paint and oil. I found out that if you use the lid of your easel like a nutcracker, you can fix that easily.
Came home, ate another breakfast, took a nap, then worked on a studio painting I hadn't touched in a while. Went well.
