Are there really any rules for plein air painting in oil, pastel, watercolor or any media?

I welcome comments as I sketch in gouache and pastel in the warm, comfort of indoors while looking out the window into the cold, dreary world. 
This is a very quick sketch, but it shows what you can do with very few supplies, a simple setup and even when you're busy, tired, not feeling well or any other excuse you normally would use to not create.
I also share the comments of Debbie Billips about whether this is plein air or cheating. Debbie and I are among the original members of Kentucky Appalachia Outdoor Painters.
