RoseAnn, I find about 1 in 10 plein air pieces actually make back to the studio before I rip them up and use the back side for color checks and blotting. Everything has to be perfect for watercolor to work outside. Compared to other mediums it has a lot of elements going against it. Paper dries to fast, paper dries to slow. It's too cold to think, let alone paint. Bugs and so on.
Plein Air Watercolor...also after 40 years of painting, this is my first post.

Thanks Chrissie for the
inspiration you provide with
your own beautiful blog.
Beautiful!
Thank You Stacey, you're very kind.
Lovely loose style! Wish I could "plein air" like that!
