This is the plein air painting I did from the last entry I made.  This painting is on velour which I really like for plein air because of the ease with which I can quickly cover the surface.  It is a relatively fragile surface for holding the pastel but the number of layers it can handle is impressive.  This velour is attached to museum board which gives it a lot more stability outside.  The overall size of the painting is 18"x25".
