Painting with Lisa Daria Kennedy

Lisa’s demo

I recently had the opportunity to take a workshop with prolific daily painter Lisa Daria Kennedy. I have followed her work for a couple of years, and was thrilled to get the opportunity to paint with her. One of the things I found most intriquing about her personally was that she gets up early (still dark outside) and completes a painting first thing each morning. She, like everyone else was facing the distractions of daily life-that can easily pull you away from your craft. Having a studio in my home I am very familiar with being taunted by laundry waiting to be washed or dishes to put away. I too am an early riser -5:30 each morning. I need the time of quiet, to “wake up” before my family stirs and requires my attention. But could I use that time to paint? That was a thought.
