100-Starts Painting Challenge

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.

The exercise is to go out with all your gear, and give yourself 30 minutes to cover the whole canvas with properly related color shapes. Create a simple, flat shape studies with no detail.

Well, this is hard for me! Which is why I do it LOL.

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:
