A frequent contributor to Yankee Magazine, photographer Sara Gray was inspired by her summer 2015 assignment to revisit the Connecticut landscapes made so famous by Impressionist painters. Sara says the experience of traveling and photographing in their footsteps left her feeling connected to the painters, their artwork, and the landscape in new and exciting ways. Please enjoy this selection of some of Sara’s favorite shots. See the full feature, “Old Lyme, Connecticut | A Place Just Waiting to Be Painted,” in our July/August 2015 issue.
