A fun and educational blog is Gurney Journey (see gurneyjourney.blogspot.com), maintained by artist James Gurney. While looking at his posts for the topic of Plein Air Painting, I found that a couple years ago he held a Weed Painting Challenge. So the idea of going into your back yard or neighboring lot and painting weeds has been out there for a while. I did this weed painting yesterday morning in my back yard. There is a slight opening in the thicket at the left, which must be a path used by night visitors. The painting is an 8x10 oil on panel.
