The California Art Club spotlights picturesque vistas that entice the viewer to kick back and enjoy the longer sunlit days with “Summer Impressions: Painting the American Landscape,” on view at its gallery at the California historical landmark The Old Mill in San Marino until September 8.
The display showcases more than 40 original paintings that capture quintessential images of summertime from coast to coast — ranging from captivating seascapes and majestic mountain views, to quaint small towns and sophisticated cities. The featured imagery includes popular Southern California sites such as Downtown Pasadena, the Los Angeles County Arboretum, Malibu Pier, and the Calafia cliffs of San Clemente.
“We are surrounded by a wide array of breathtaking sights during the hottest season of the year, which makes ‘Summer Impressions’ an ideal exhibition to launch the California Art Club’s Painting the American Landscape exhibition series,” says Bethany Lamonde, exhibitions manager for the century-old arts organization.
Following this exhibition at the California Art Club Gallery at The Old Mill, which is marking this year its 20th anniversary, the organization will continue this series with “Autumn Impressions,” to be unveiled on August 17 at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton, Calif.
