Day 322: Plein Aire painting

I'm part of a Wed morning Plein Aire painting group. We show up rain or shine to set up our easels and sketch and paint the landscape. This photo shows me in Ireland at a beautiful estate, the Bantry House in Cork. The umbrella and rain gear help. Tomorrow we are scheduled to paint at a fruit stand along highway 92. But the weather promises heavy rain. As romantic as this photo is I must say that painting in the rain is quite a challenge. I'm actually holding the umbrella under my arm. If it does rain on Wed I think I'll paint next to our gas fireplace and forgo the romance.
