I have pledged to do One Hundred Starts of Plein air paintings.
I got this challenge idea from Kevin Macpherson's book, Fill Your Paintings with Light & Color.

I decided to keep it simple indeed, stay close to home so as to cut the excuses of having to drive somewhere. I have all the challenge I need just outside my door here:
I've already done two:
Each was done in 30 minutes and then I stopped:
No. 1
No. 2

I'll post summaries here every week, too, so you don't miss out.
