In July of 1917, Baumann spent a brief teaching stint in New York in the town of Wyoming, staying at the summer home of Lydia Avery Coolney Ward. A Chicago-based writer, socialite, and widely influential arts patron, Ward opened the doors of the sprawling Greek Revival mansion to artists from early July to early August. It wasn't a planned teaching position: Baumann had first moved to Westport, Connecticut earlier that year to try his hand at art colony living. But the invitation, offered by Ward in 1915, to teach art and toy making at the grand home set in a lush, wild wood was too tempting. Baumann was drawn to the landscape there, as seen in "Woodland Meadows," capturing the sultry greens and yellows of an upstate New York summer, horses lounging in the cool shade of the tree canopy.
