Many Hudson River School painters, including Thomas Cole and Jasper Cropsey, painted from this spot high above North South Lake. I can see why they derived so much inspiration from this location.

Although the view faces west and offers spectacular sunsets, my husband and I opted to make the one mile climb up there in the early morning to beat the heat. I sat on a large rock slab in the shade provided by the huge Sunset Rock, and used my small, foamcore pochade box, which was a real godsend on this trip!

wow – this little box is a genius idea. I’ve tried several different paint boxes…& keep looking to get the load lighter…..this just might do it! Thanks for the instructions – you might just save me from shoulder injury! (hauling too much stuff!).

Something to say?
