Old School House Garden (2017)
In the summer of 2017, Anne Corlett participated in a "plein air" event at the History Center, where she created this work in the gardens while the public watched her paint. She donated the painting to the History Center in 2020. It captures the spontaneity of plein air painting and the energy of summer at the Lakeshore.
