en plein air

•

If only French impressionist Claude Monet was still with us. I’m sure his “en plein air” manner of painting—literally painting outside in the open air—would serve him well. The weather has been ideal and the colors as bold and expressive as one of his canvases.

This photo taken at Mt. Olive along Old Maryville Highway looks like it’s dripping with fresh paint. Monet would have used all of his gold and yellow oils.
