We invite all Lyme Art Association member artists to participate in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Lyme Art Association Gallery. Our summer exhibition, A Century of Inspiration, seeks to draw connections between the spirit of our founding artists and that of our current members. So we encourage you to spend a little time communing with our forbears - peruse their works below, paint in some of their favorite locales, and if you can, visit the Florence Griswold Museum's special exhibit on our Centennial.
Do you paint cows, as Matilda Browne and William Henry Howe did? Or perhaps interiors, or nocturnes? Graceful and mysterious figures, beloved children, or loyal hounds? Do you know of a drift of lovely mountain laurel that you have been wanting to paint? Do you work in loose, soft brushwork or precise and fine miniature? These are all the kinds of connections that we are looking for. We are not asking you to copy a work, or change your style at all, but to find a connection between your work and one of the Association's early artists or forbears.
