FUNNY, BUT OH SO ACCURATE

Don't all of you plein air painters love this commercial? I get a laugh out of it every time I see it, as I have experienced everything they show and plenty more when painting outdoors. The only one I haven't is the tide coming in as the one place I have not had the opportunity to paint in plein air is the sea, but all the others I certainly have.

I live in Arizona so a dust storm, or a sudden downpour is not unusual. Or like this past February we expected a cold from with rain, but actually got a snow storm that laid down three to four inches of snow in Phoenix, of all places!. Anyway, I thought they did great with this ad and the kicker at the end with his lady hanging the picture upside down. Here is the full length version, last a full minute, not just the 30 second spot shown on TV. Enjoy.
