The weather has been very off and on this spring here in Umbria. We have had some really grey, wet, and windy days...too many of them to get out and paint plein-air.
We try and get out between storms, though. Johnny has been painting in the local fields, when the weather is on our side. When it's a good day, he'll stop 3-4 times along a dirt road and get to work.

| Taking advantage of o nice day. |

| Painting a scene nearby. |

| The finished piece. |
Heading along another dirt road, for another painting. I usually take walks or bring a book to read. I try to take photos and videos to give you an idea of the process. It's a pleasure to be out in the country side on a nice day, for sure.
 |
| A very peaceful spot to enjoy. |
I believe Johnny looks for a spot that has structures. He really likes to paint the local farm houses.
 |
| Beyond the too huge property in the foreground, there is an old church on the hill. This is the subject he will paint. |
 |
| We always look for a place to pull over so tractors can go by. |
We walk by this church sometimes, and Johnny's fantasy is to have it as a studio someday. It's good to dream!
One more stop on this day, one more little gem...
