We settled for painting out Enid's dining room window. Therefore, my title for this post. Was it plein air or not? This discussion continues in the wetcanvas.com Plein Air Forum all the time. Do you have to be actually outside to paint plein air or is it just on location looking outside and finish all at once? What if you are sitting in your car?
It was very cloudy which I was trying to capture. The painting is not finished, I will work on it more soon and post the finish.
I am the host for Scavenger Hunt 221 and posted the list at the last minute this morning. I recycled a list I did in February 2007. (Didn't even really read it.) When I got home to post this painting, I realized this painting sketch fits the Hunt. Lucky me! Sketch number 1, view out any window.

I like it as is Jo - it's moody, as landscapes really are
Hi Rose, thank you. We were glad for the clouds in a way, the light didn't change much. :)
I think it is a great start to your plein aire painting - even if you were inside. I was suppose to paint with a friend today, but she thought it was too cold for me to get out and come to her house. Although I assured her I was good with it,
she said she would rather wait for a warmer day. Yet, we were suppose to paint inside - go figure.
Bag Blog, it was good to paint. I hadn't painted since I closed the gallery. I need to get with it!
The weather is weird for sure. Maybe we will paint together one of these days! In or out. Ha.
Great job on this! You know me. I consider anything painted of nature through a window a plein air. Just a reminder to change my blog in your links to http://watercolorsbyjoan2.blogspot.com
I still can't post to the original one, so I'll use this one instead.
As long as you're painting... that's what counts!
Hi Joan, thank you for the comment. And, for the reminder of your blog change (I switched my link)
Teresa, hi there, you are right about painting. That is the main thing. :) Thanks.
