Lawrence of Arabia lookalike??
He must be a Lawrence of Arabia lookalike...check out that head gear. But did Lawrence do plein air painting? Hold the phone!!!...I think this is me doing my thing a few years ago!
I will do my very first outing sketches outdoors this afternoon with 2 friends but I'm not going to turn into a princess of the desert ... I'm still wondering how to get organized for watercolors outside, take just the essentials, but what's essential: a hat, some colors, a rigid support for paper, water and a palette? I see you have a white parasol ...
Lydie, Unless you can find shade or an umbrella, you will find it extremely difficult to paint on a sunny day with all that reflected sun light bouncing off your paper and into your eyes.

You da' Conquerer!
Fabulous seeing you in action. I like the headgear; keeps you from getting a sunburn on the neck!
ROFL!!!! You just made my day!

Dana, when it comes to geeky neck wear, I guess I am da conquerer!
Autumn, It was that or hiring a lackey to hold an umbrella over me. I can't afford and Umbrella lackey.
Sue, yep, everybody laughs at me when I wear my semi-pro plein air cap with neck protector.
Thanks David for your answer
