Chuy's in Paint

I was meeting friends a Chuy's -- to sit outside under the cool trees and relax over lunch. I took my new little cigar box -- hoping to be able to sit at a table and paint. I arrived early, but didn't get up the courage to pull out my paints. After my friends left I used a piece of uncovered, unsealed birch to capture my first "street life" scene. I started another piece on linen, but it turns out it wasn't as cool as I had hoped. The heat got the best of me and I headed home.
