Plein Air Challenge: Painting Buildings on a Windy Day in Old Town, Fort Collins ✿ Art Vlog #52

I also explore the local art scene at Bean Cycle Coffee, have a yummy sushi lunch at Nori Maki, and share a timelapse of how I finished the painting in my studio. Skeeter my African Red Bellied parrot and an American Bald Eagle also make an appearance.
