I gave it a try at the first plein air event at the Los Angeles County Fair, which was held by the California Art Club. It was definitely a challenge with the temperature heating up very quickly. I did a quick sketch in about 1 hour and 30 minutes before the heat took its toll on me. The sketch served as the basis for a studio painting which was completed in 70-100 hours over the following three months.
See the sketch and studio version here.

I recently returned from a trip to Thailand. I hope to make use of many reference items in pieces that I will begin working on soon. I have both new ideas and many themes that have been simmering in my mind for years. I have been hesitant to put these ideas on canvas or paper because the lack of authentic cultural reference materials.
I hope to see some finished pieces during the rest of this year.
