It’s a very good thing to learn.” In June 2013, the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisc., invited Tenney to be one of six artists to set up their easels in Wausau for “Paint the Town: A Plein-Air Paint Out.” She also had artwork in the Paint Out exhibit at the Woodson. Tenney has also studied with Frank Lalumia, traveling each year since 2010 to participate in workshops at Dill- man’s Creative Arts Foundation in Lac du Flambeau, Wisc. “My teacher Frank says that one plein-air session is as good as 20 in your studio.
