Ninth Bali painting. Cottages and Banana Palms

I saw these on the way back to my hotel. I was going to paint an historic temple on the coast but too many people. No place to stand. Never mind. It is the last of my Bali paintings. It has been fun. I've really enjoyed the experience. I'm glad that I have had so much previous plein air painting experience before I attempted this. It is as much knowing what not to take as much as what you must. It has worked out ok.

Subjects are everywhere, but the opportunity to set up and paint them depends on local knowledge. I was fortunate to have sympathetic drivers.

Brush cleaning is always a challenge but I managed with soap and "the masters" solid brush cleaner. Did not need turps praise be.
