A few years ago I did the "painting" to the right as a demo at the Plein Air Convention in San Diego. I had an hour and a half to paint in front of about 200 people AND talk about how I do what I do. Which, wasn't enough time to actually finish. But I kept the start as a memento - of the time I almost died from being nervous.

I painted the version above recently, in Germany, without the first version around to see - only the photo reference. What's interesting to me is that I made a lot of the same decisions in editing the second time around.
