MITCHELL ALBALA Blog - and Matt Smith on Plein Air

If suspect that most of us subscribe to Mitchell Albala's blog and have purchased his book: Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice. If not, I recommend them both.

But I mention this becuase of a recent post that references an article Matt Smith did for Plein Air Magazine a few years ago.  I thought it interesting - particularly the last paragraph. 

PS - why does Blogger sometimes put in these darn background changes and how do you get rid of them??????
