Today was another stunning day at Boscobel Restoration in Garrison, NY. The Cherry Blossoms are all gone now, so I turned my attention to the overview of Constitution Marsh and the Hudson River. It was amazing how fast the light changed. The light and shadows on the hills reversed itself, and the marsh became cooler and darker as it was silhouetted by the light coming from the south. I kept my original plan with the morning light. The photo below shows the scene in the afternoon with my almost-finished painting.

This painting has wonderful presence in its large size with the strong color and light. I can’t wait to see it in a frame!

What a perfect day to be up there painting!!! I love this with the marsh water winding through.

Jamie: You are correct in that mornig to afternoon renders opposite optics of the same scene however I am warmly aware of your capture of the scene as it unfolds for you as the sun advances. Your capture of the scene is almost exact and that is a showing of your talent.I applaud your efforts and enjoy all your Art from the Hudson River area. As a Painter of my beloved Arizona Desert it is a refreshing change from what I view every day.Regards John
