A word from the features editor! Review by Sarah A. Strickley

I'm always intrigued by plein air watercolorists' devotion to the quality of light in the places they love and Michael Reardon did not disappoint with his story about his lifelong love affair with California. You'll love our story on Winslow Homer's Adirondacks watercolors in this must-have issue too!
