A couple of studies for a project and painting I'm working on. The painting is a very different treatment than the studies and much looser. My main criteria is "fun"! Will post the painting when pao.

30 in 30 Plein Air Challenge
These are September 1st and 2nd for a 30 in 30 plein air painting challenge for this month. Made a bunch of 4 x 5 watercolor paper supports to use. They have a watercolor ground and shellac on them as a barrier to the oil. Tomorrow's will be interesting in Hurricane Lester - but - no excuses eh?!? ;)

Organizing Tubes of Paint
Using a palette knife or gloves, put a bit of paint on the lid of each color so you can easily see what it is. Here I have them propped up in yogurt containers in an antique wooden Royal Crown Cola box. Don't have a drawer to lay them all out flat, so this works for me.
If the lids are black, put white acrylic paint on them first. After it's dry put the paint on. I used to hang them on a line by bending the bottom of the tube over a nylon cord as shown below - but that can get pretty heavy.

Hanamu Road in the Rain
Painted this little 6 x 8 inch in the pouring rain from under the back hatch of my car. It was so much fun - listening to the rain, getting a bit spattered and loving the process and fresh air, birds etc.... Ahhhhh.....

Thompson Road Barn
This was painted on two consecutive Gorgeous mornings out on Thompson Road in Keokea, Maui. As always - I meet and chat with The nicest people. It's one of the joys of being on location!
