Youtube video plein air painting in International Rose Garden Portland Oregon The pesky sun destroys this video. As the sun rises and brightens the background, the foreground goes dark. The same thing happens to my eyes when I am Plein Air Painting at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland Oregon. This sun can be the enemy to a plein air painter. Here is the finished painting that disappeared from the video.
