Missouri Plein Air Painters Association artists were invited to paint at locations throughout the Missouri Botanical Garden as part of Nature Speaks, an event for garden members and the general public on the evening June 12, 2025. I tackled this view over the shoulder of the Bather sculpture by Emilio Greco. She looks out over the Swift Family Pools in front of the historic Linnean House. Built in 1882, it is the oldest continuously operated public greenhouse west of the Mississippi River.
