This was one of the first series of hotel paintings I created. This is a quiet little side patio I found while staying at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. I did this almost entirely en plein air. I often finish my paintings after my trips on the plane on the way home. Seatmates are often amazed that I can paint on a plane, but I find it quite comfortable. The tray table and reading light are the perfect workspace, and I have a small watercolor field box set that fits easily in my laptop bag. The flight attendants are always happy to bring me a small glass of water and a few cocktail napkins for blotting.
