With the nation watching a storm for the ages (did you see the snow in the panhandle last weekend?), concern for the environment is rising. Did you know that landscape conservation helps mitigate the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration, water storage, and flood protection? Wildlife corridors also help maintain resilient and connected natural and human communities. If you want to learn more about landscape conservation, follow us here, on LinkedIn @/school/ufclcp, and on Instagram @ourfloridalandscape_UF!
As this week comes to a close, I'd like to present a #MuseumMoment from our _Wild Waters_ exhibition.
This painting, titled _Landscape with Cows_, is featured in our _Wild Waters_ exhibition at the Governor's House in St. Augustine, Florida. Maria A'Becket was an artist who painted rural scenes with loose brush work in Florida, France, and Maine. She was a remarkable woman painter who trained with William Morris Hunt in a class he offered exclusively for women (one of the very limited training options for women in those days), and later studied with Charles-Francois Daubigny, who was associated with the #BarbizonSchool in the countryside outside of Paris.
Notice how her palette softens the landscape with its pastel tones blending the lake and sky. May it remind us the beauty that surrounds us as we head into the weekend.
