Visit Italy in San Diego

Now through September 18, The Timken Museum in San Diego is hosting works by artist George Inness.  a 19th century American artist who fufilled his desire to paint Italy. Mr. Inness is credited as being one of the founders of "tonal" painting. Tonal means on a scale 1-10, White being 1, Dark being 10 painting all shades in between. So essentially it's painting in shades of color.  It's beautiful!! You can see an example of his work here
