This museum houses the largest collection of Florida landscape paintings in the world - over 2800 in all with about 400 on display at any given time. The collection includes artists such as Backus, Herzog, Heade, Bolinger, Shapleigh, Inness, Frieseke and many many more.  Paintings are exhibited in a brand new building on the campus of the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences (MOAS).  A big thank you to Cici and Hyatt Brown for sharing and building this amazing collection and musuem!

The Irvine Museum Collection is dedicated to the collection, display, and study of California Impressionism, a regional variety of the larger Impressionist movement that flourished between 1890 and 1930. It houses works of art from extraordinary painters like Joseph Kleitsch, William Wendt, Jessie Botke, Guy Rose, Granville Redmond, and Donna Schuster. 

I was fortunate to see the exhibit “California Impressionism: Selections from The Irvine Museum” several times in 2016 at the Museum of Art in Deland, FL.  It was a real treat. Based on these "selections", I've added a visit to the Irvine Museum in CA to my bucket list!  hal@paintouts.com.
