Discover the DIA's Art Around Brighton

Each day this week, Brighton Patch will feature one of the seven paintings, courtesy of the DIA's Inside|Out program, which are currently on display around town.

For the fourth year, the DIA's Inside|Out program has been bringing some of it's masterpieces to local communities and this year, Brighton was selected to host seven famous reproductions from its collection.

The paintings will be on display throughout the community as part of the Inside|Out program through the month of August.

For details of what paintings are spread around town, Brighton Patch will be featuring one painting each day this week. Next up is The Lily Pond by Charles Henry Eaton located at the Mill Pond Plaza on W. Main St.

Can you imagine yourself in the middle of this lily pond? Small strokes of white paint represent light reflecting off the water, and the dark colors capture subtle shadows. Charles Eaton intended for these realistic details to give viewers the impression of being right there, knee-deep in the pond. The image evokes the natural beauty Eaton experienced nearby—he most likely painted it in Michigan.
