Today was the first of two days of painting on the streets of Old Naples, to benefit the David Lawrence center.  It's my 4th year participating in the event, and it was a perfect day.  The sky was bright blue, the humidity was low, the temperature was moderate, and there were lots of people strolling by and watching the 37 artists at work.  I had a pretty good day, but have to go back tomorrow and try to make the light more consistent throughout the painting.  The light in the morning was bad, and in the afternoon, when it got blindingly light, people kept stopping to chat, which I love, but it distracted me a bit.  Not to worry, nothing that a little work in the studio can't easily remedy!  Thanks to all of my friends who stopped by, and to the group that joined me afterwards for happy hour.
