Last Day of Pleine Air Painting

The weather has turned blustery here but last week I got to go outside to paint with my friend Sallie. It was one of those wonderful, beautiful fall days. The leaves were still on the trees and we painted at a park along Lake Michigan. Pleine air painting is like camping. You really have to have all the right equipment and you have to be able to set it up and break it down pretty efficiently. Not to mention you also have to stare at the scene before you and figure out a way to capture it on a small, empty canvas. That is the hard part.
Until next season....
