Coordinated by Maura Cochan, the Lyme Art Association is proud to have a plein air painting group that meets weekly on Monday mornings to paint outdoors in the spring and summer time. Maura finds a wonderful selection of landscapes, farms, town views, nature centers, marine and seascape locations in and around Old Lyme for the group to paint at.

It is the ideal gallery . . . . Greater appropriateness, beauty of proportions and refinement of taste hardly could be found . . . . Truly an artist’s gallery, built for and by and with artists.
