The American painter John Leslie Breck (1860–1899), who was one of the first Americans to settle in Giverny with Louis Ritter (1852–1896), Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858–1925) Blair Bruce (1859–1906), Henry Fitch Taylor (1853–1925), Theodore Robinson (1852–1896) and Thedore Wendel (1859–1932), invited Dawson-Watson to live in Giverny, the spring after its founding.
An example of his mature work during this period is La Débâcle (1892) in the collection of Scripps College, Claremont California.

From 1890 to 1920, the house was a gathering place for artists, writers and editors, and scores of art students came to study with leading American Impressionists John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Theodore Robinson, and Childe Hassam.
Many of Twachtman's friends came to visit him at his home; among them were Hassam, J. Alden Weir, Theodore Robinson, Henry Fitch Taylor, and Robert Reid.
Besides himself, other American painters who spent time in Giverny included John Leslie Breck, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Edmund Greacen, Philip Leslie Hale, Willard Metcalf, Lilla Cabot Perry, Theodore Robinson and Guy Rose.
