This was painted late in the afternoon on location in Cold Spring, New York. It was one of those perfect pre-fall days, filled with the glow of the late day light and the Hudson River breezes. I took the photo below after completing the painting, so the light and shadows had changed somewhat from the time I started. I kept going out to the car to get more things, so you can see that by the end of the day, I had accumulated enough stuff on site for three artists!

Glad to see I’m not the only one who likes a “Seat” while doing Art.I have even been asked by passersbys,”why are you sitting down while you paint?” and my answer is HuH,what did you say? Think I will get one of those Wheel Chairs,Maybe People will pay more attention to my Art and not so much of me. JC

Hi John. I usually stand up in the morning, but by the end of the day I’m getting tired and need to sit if I’m going to continue. If I remember correctly, on this particular day I began just after dawn, and did my first two paintings standing.
