Painting outdoors but not the view

I was so fortunate to stay at my friend Ev's home with a view of Okanaga Lake. I was the host at the Courtyard Gallery in Enderby, B.C. on Saturday and Monday. Staying at Ev's cut down my driving by half and I was able to enjoy a visit with my Mom and sister on Sunday, just perfect! I still had my plein air set up from doing an oil painting demo on Friday and had 2 unfinished (actually BARELY STARTED) paintings. I set up with the beautiful view just beyond my easel. It felt strange to work on different subjects with my plein air set up but was just as enjoyable! The last photo is the inspiring view, a heart felt thank you Ev!
