Plein Air Maiden Voyage


 I've been dying to get outside to do some plein air painting 
before I head to Long Island next week 
for a Tim Horn workshop.  
Sunday, I got out my Open Box M 
and didn't have to go very far to find a subject.   


My garden is an explosion of 
purple and orange right now! 


As always, I was challenged by chasing the light. 
This needs a few tweaks,
but it's not bad for the maiden voyage!?
Needs more flowers!
