While at a family reunion my mom and I were fortunate to visit the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, CT. It was a center point for American Impressionism in Twenty Century America.

The house and property housed summer artists, creating an artistic community with frequent plein air excursions. Many well-known artists spent time at the house and grounds. They included William Metcalf and Childe Hassam, amongst others. Through the years over 200 artists spent time at the artist colony.

Above is a photograph of a painting by William Metcalf, currently on display in one of their galleries.
