Florence Griswold Museum

I spent the day at the Florence Griswold Museum in Lyme.

"The Florence Griswold Museum is the first venue for Impressionist Giverny: Americans Painters in France, 1885–1915, an exhibition of over fifty paintings. The exhibition tells the story of the expatriate colony founded by American artists in the village of Impressionist master Claude Monet."

After seeing the exhibit I toured the Florence Griswold House, where the Impressionist artists lived and worked. The Griswold House owned by Florence Griswold was known as the American Giverny.

In the manner of the early impressionist, I painted on the grounds inspired by the same gardens, landscape and river they viewed as they painted in the early 1900's.
