Not long after settling in Old Lyme, artist Lucien Abrams painted this picture of the orchard behind Florence Griswold’s boardinghouse. The Griswold family had long pursued small-scale farming, and the 1880 census records that on their 15-acre estate, one acre was devoted to an orchard consisting of 15 trees. Abrams depicts the mature trees, which attracted artists to the colony during apple blossom time, when painters such as Childe Hassam set up easels outdoors to capture the radiant, ruffled petals. A female figure seated in the foreground suggests that by 1916, the orchard was as much a site for outdoor leisure as an agricultural resource.
The American-born Abrams spent many years abroad before returning to this country in 1914. In France, he absorbed the expressive brushwork and non-naturalistic color palette of the post-Impressionists, which he translated into the gestural application of red and purple for the contours of the tree trunks in The Orchard.

A view of Ferry Point painted from the Chadwick estate in Old Lyme. The work shows a dirt lane with a wooden post and rail fence, a hillock jutting into the Connecticut River, several houses lining the bank of the River, and several small row boats and sailing craft moored in a cove. The opposite shore merges with the light blue shy, ending at the Saybrook Point lighthouse. Ferry Road was the first highway in Lyme, built in 1666, to connect the village and ferry. This view was painted no later than 1870 at which time a permanent bridge was constructed to replace the ferry.

When Henry Ward Ranger moved east from Old Lyme to Noank, Connecticut in 1904, the Impressionist painter Childe Hassam assumed Ranger's position as the stylistic leader of the colony. Although Ranger continued to experiment with painting techniques more associated with American Tonalism, his later canvases, such as "Groton Long Point", show an inclination towards Impressionism in their textured surfaces and vibrant colors.
