Summary
Concerning Mrs. Hewitt's search for a place to study painting outdoors, with comments on Turner: "I think Turner avoided foliage simply because he felt it to be dull:--and giving little room for composition unless on a much larger scale. Foliage hardly comes well unless you can paint it real size"; and discussing various kinds of flowers.
