Butler Institute of American Art

Peter with "Sunset in the old Orchard, Montclair"

A nice surprise at the ACOPAL exhibition was discovering the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. They have a nice collection of paintings including Winslow Homer's Snap the Whip, a grand John Singer Sargent and this beautiful George Inness painting, Sunset in the Old Orchard, painted the last year he was alive. I love visiting all of the smaller art museums across the U.S. There are always more than a few treasures to delight and surprise!

Montclair Art Museum

Peter admires a painting by his hero, George Inness

The Montclair Art Museum is a beautiful little museum -- well worth a visit. They have a gallery dedicated to George Inness who lived and painted in the area for a number of years. If you didn't already know this about Peter, he is a big fan of Mr. Inness.
