The next one is a church from a nearby village, called St Martin le Redon. I did this when my friend went to play tennis for an hour and a half. I had a nice place to sit opposite the church.No discomfort at all. There was hardly anyone that evening, totally deserted. It is a very small village.

This painting took lots of my energy. I walked one evening some 8 kms to this village called Montcabrier, and this site looked like medieval remains of a castle, I had to sit on the grass with lots of insects flying about, I had to hurry it up but enjoyed every bit of doing it. It was totally fresh and transparent. Here it is:

While returning back, I saw this location with vineyards and farm houses at a distance and haystacks. I came back to this spot the next day and I had to sit at a distance from the scene on a slope across the road. I liked the perspective of the vast scene in front of me. Here is the painting.

On the whole it was fun all the way, I could see the light and atmosphere one could capture while doing painting outdoors. I should more of this in London!
Great job on the plein air, I find it very challanging to paint plein air.
