Recently my plein air group, Garden Artists, painted at my friend Marianne's ranch east of Colorado Springs.  I've painted there before and posted paintings of her chickens and eggs.  Well, here's one of the chairs out by the barn.  It's a great place to rest and watch all the animals and to paint!

I've mentioned the challenges of plein air painting, and have mentioned some additional challenges of plein air painting on a boat, ie:  changing light, changing reflections on the water, high glare.  Another one is boat movement.  As the boat sways and rocks slowly with the water, you aren't always aware of this.  But, when you're painting and look up and the shadow right in front of you is different, you just go with what was there!  You can't keep changing light and shadow.
