Last August, I accompanied by husband to a Ham radio conference in Huntsville, Alabama. I really did not want to go. I have a Ham radio license but I never use it and the whole thing just seemed boring. But he insisted. Said there was the space museum and the art museum. I reluctantly agreed to go. He got us a floor as high up as possible to get the best view, knowing I'd see something I had to paint. He was right. The view outside our hotel room was very pretty. Oh, my but it was hot. I have painted outdoors in the heat and over 83 degrees F, I just melt. The forcast for the next day was 95 degrees! So the night before I decided I'd get up early when my husband did, and paint the scenery in the early morning light right though my hotel window! How's that for "plein air"?! I like plein air when I'm in air-conditioning!
