This year I bought a 24' RV with the idea of touring the country and painting.  My companion would be my 14 year old cat, Picaboo who is affectionately called Boo.  I did not know how she would adapt but so far she is a very quiet companion who sleeps on the road and delights to looking out the window at campsites to be amused by tiny creatures she would probably rather eat.

My RV is a 2003 Minnie with a slide out that gives me enough room to work on up to 24" paintings indoors in unfriendly weather.  In good weather I have my awning to give shade while outdoors for larger pieces.  My recent purchase is an electric bike which I can travel on for short distances with my backpack to those plein air sites where you cannot park an RV. 

I started my adventures in Pennsylvania where I parked in my parents' back yard for 3 weeks to get used to RV living and the maintenance aspects in a safe environment.  Half of my friends are envious and the other half think I am crazy  - usually divided down the middle between painters and non-painters.  Finally leaving the comforts of the back yard, I took off for my first trip to Maine.  You can follow the updates as I get internet signals and the urge to enter them.
