Painting en plein air has always sounded intriguing to me, but I never tried it before last Saturday. Although it rained some off and on, the weather was not too bad. Since I use a variety of materials and larger canvases than many artists, I can't move my work station quickly in the event of sudden rain showers. Because of that I found a protected alcove where I could paint using photographs I'd taken earlier in the week in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg.

I was thrilled to create two new paintings from scratch. Normally, I would never have spent all day Saturday painting. This was fun! Next time, hopefully the weather will be sunny. Maybe I'll get a French easel, but for my work it will have to be a big one.

Glad the rain didn't 'add' to your paintings, Monti!
Thanks, Alex. When it sprinkled a couple of times, the rain blew in and added a bit of texture.
Beautiful paintings! What a wonderful experience--to paint outside!
Thanks, Susan. I love having a day now and then just for painting!
