I've been painting from a van here on Maui for the past 30 years. I have had this 1969 van for over ten years. Its' body is mostly fiberglass by now :) from all the rust repair.  This second van, a 1985 I got in 2001. The 3rd photo was taken 8-15-9, I just repainted it with One-Shot sign painters paint, it still has lead in it.
The panel on top has a solar panel on it for my laptop computer, the main reason is to protect my windshield from the sun coming in and the rain distorting my view,
The steering wheel is my easel most of the time.

 

Dec.1st, 1998. Back out on location. Here with my buddy Duncan, painting the Lahaina Mountains.
 

Day one, 16x24 acrylic.
Day one

Day two. 
It looks like it should only take one more day to finish.

Day five.

Day six. Well now, here it is two months later, Duncan had to go to Thailand for the Christmas season so I waited to finish, he's my student. I finally finished on 3-3-99. The grass had turned green and I was still painting the dried weed color. Like I always said, paint the colors of one hour of one day, no matter how many days it takes.

Day seven, finished. It's a lot different from my day 2 picture.

IN 2009 I STARTED LIFE DRAWING TO ROUND OUT MY ON LOCATION EXPERIENCES.

I really approve of the
speed using the new alkyd as a
painting medium.
Here are my examples.
