Another “Do you remember this?” moment: aaaages ago, with Paul’s help, I made this ponchard box:
Well, three and a half years later I finally got around to using it. We went camping with friends a few weekends ago at Bear Gully, a little seaside camping spot in Victoria. I plonked myself on a stool on the beach on two of the days and was happy to find the box works perfectly – especially the all-important storage of paintings inside the lid.
The weather was very different. On the first day it was overcast but dry:
On the second the sun was out, but fortunately it wasn’t too hot:
Painting ‘in plein air’ was challenging and satisfying, but not exactly social. Which is why it took me so long to try the box. You really need a situation in which your friends/family/other half are happily otherwise occupied and don’t mind your attention being focussed elsewhere. Or else go with other painters.
Love the paintings! Your colours are just beautiful.
Love them both. Your talent never ceases to amaze me.
*blush* Thanks!
