She claims he didn't go out and sketch from nature which is a direct contradiction of his own son, George Inness Jr.'s claim that he in fact spent hours upon hours walking outside with a sketch book and doing small sketches and oil sketches. In fact we have plenty of these small outdoor sketches to view. So this idea that he just created all this stuff out of his imagination and memory couldn't be further from the truth.
This woman makes many statements that are simply chatty conjectures and generally not supported by the vast knowledge we do have about Innes, his times in Perth Amoy, the whole mid-tone approach, etc. I'd expect a more serious effort on this important artist.
Thank you for this! She has a lecture on landscapes coming up in DC that I am going to have to miss, so I was excited to find this.
Inness’s son wrote a book about his approach to his canvas and life . It’s a small book.
she's great! yas queen

good information but, I see to much of her lips moving and not enough of the pictures as she talks about them. That's why I would give the video a B.
Another delusional lecture...worse than Ruskin speaking of Turner...you can tell she never picked up a brush.
