New Jersey Sketchers at Montclair Art Museum
| Montclair Art Museum Entrance |
George Inness, a major landscape of the nineteenth century who had great influence on the Hudson River School, lived and worked in Montclair NJ. The Montclair Art Museum has a wonderful collection of his paintings and a gallery dedicated to his work. There is now a significant new installation of his work and an exhibit of works by many artists who were influenced by George Inness. This month we will visit the museum, view the work by Innes and the featured artist and then go out to the ground of the museum and see if we can use these ideas in our own work.

If time and interest allows we can also move a few blocks away to the Van Vleck Garden to continue our sketching. All together we should have a great day of working in some beautiful settings while being influenced by some great painters.
