The board in the lower left explains that "plein-air" is a French term and usually refers to painting outdoors. I also gave an explanation of where each of the paintings was painted.

John bought a new Sony A350 camera (14mp) to do the job. Next we had to figure out the lighting. This is a NON-professional way to light the work. With the 500w bulbs, it would only be safe to leave them on for a very short time. We got 2 umbrellas from Cord Camera and rigged up 2 GE Photofloods, 2 tripods and clip on lights.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/SckUUCvbP-I/AAAAAAAAADA/9yPmz2ZqB6k/s1600-h/IMG_2486.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/SckUUCvbP-I/AAAAAAAAADA/9yPmz2ZqB6k/s400/IMG_2486.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316803169653309410" border="0" /></a><br />We are still experimenting with the best exposure. When I went to use Photoshop in my new MacBook I found out that I needed Photoshop 6, so that delayed us while I got a free trial. We'll be back at it today, when John gets home.

In the background is a wall made from birch panel (unfinished) that I can hang work on for storage, and to see paintings from a distance.<br /><br />My pallet is an old window that I painted white on the opposite side. Lots of brushes, wax paste, and an old jar with a brush cleaner inside. Natural Turpenoid for a hand cleaner.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/Scfstz8iUFI/AAAAAAAAACg/FcvSTCv_jUU/s1600-h/IMG_2458.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/Scfstz8iUFI/AAAAAAAAACg/FcvSTCv_jUU/s400/IMG_2458.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316478156916543570" border="0" /></a>To the right of the painting area are two huge storage shelves that my mother-in-law found on Craigs List. They also serve as a place to prop up work for storage and for seeing from a distance. They are very valuable storage space for finished work and blank panels and canvases etc...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/ScfuEXM9tsI/AAAAAAAAACo/J_X47_9AW2k/s1600-h/IMG_2460.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/ScfuEXM9tsI/AAAAAAAAACo/J_X47_9AW2k/s400/IMG_2460.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316479643849438914" border="0" /></a>Behind the painting area is my sewing machine and two unfinished landscape quilts. (There is a brown fabric peeking out from under the top quilt.) This is a pretty small area for sewing. When I work on the quilts, I'll move everything to my upstairs studio that has a big work space for sewing or painting watercolors.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/Scfuw-EFQWI/AAAAAAAAACw/Va9j23P2-hs/s1600-h/IMG_2459.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_geKxvOoOb9o/Scfuw-EFQWI/AAAAAAAAACw/Va9j23P2-hs/s400/IMG_2459.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316480410195411298" border="0" /></a>These two shelves serve as a wall separating my studio from the rest of the basement.
