I have just been looking at the site for Robert Perry and he is the ultimit in outdoor painting. A british modern exponent of this art, he creates his own equiptment and paints quite large paintings outside.  He has also apered in several programs.Worth a look at.

From what i can remember it was quite a walk, but well worth it. They are brilliant examples of plein air painting at its best. I hope that the show in the Dulwich Picture Gallry is as  good. I would encourage you if you are in Torento go mand see the original exhibition space.
