This is my first on location "en plein air" painting. Having never taken my painting supplies out of doors before, I decided to do a trial run on the porch of my residence on Monhegan Island. I packed up all my gear (including lunch) for a day's painting and set out, as if to hike, through the french doors. The experiment worked and I gained the confidence to set out further the next day.
