I was teaching oil at the University of Kentucky and  and brought my students out of the studio so they would be able to experience what painting from life Plein Air at the Arboretum. We had been looking at the Impressionists and I felt the only way for them to fully understand their experience was to take them on location. I loved doing this work with them. Again structure supports the softness of the wildflowers and the dramatic floating red silk scarf.
