O'Shea painted mostly in which outdoor setting?
Plains
Mountains
En plein air
Inside studios
Answer
En plein air, meaning "in the open air" in French, refers to the practice of painting outdoors with the subject in natural light. This approach became popular among artists in the 19th century, allowing them to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere in their work. O'Shea, known for his landscape paintings, often embraced this technique to depict the serene beauty of the natural world.
