This morning I realised I had never posted a photo of this finished plein-air painting, 

I did late last summer, which was the very beginnings of my "plein-air 'Trek'" adventures. 

Here is the original plein-air 'trek' blog post from last last summer.

My not having a car is very difficult on so many levels.

Reason being is, I simply can't afford one at the present time.

I try to do my best with what I have ....

I started using my bike last year as a mode of transportation 

to potential and local plein-air painting sites. 

This cute house with its wild flower yard is located just about a mile from my studio.

Discovered this gem of a place while out for one of my morning walks a few years ago ... 

And simply fell in love with the house emerging through the shrubs and wild flowers! 

It took a long time to acquire the home owners permission to paint on their property,

simply because they just weren't home a lot of the time.

In the meantime I planned and prepared how I was going to transport

all of my plein-air gear to the location ...

Finally! One morning ... they were home and granted me permission! 

Within a few days ... I was happily rode my bike to their house

and spent to morning painting their cute homestead and their lovely wild flowers!

Phase #1

On site Day #1.

The light shifted, so it was time to go home for lunch.

On site: Day #2.

Please stay tuned for more plein-air painting adventures from the studio!
