This was painted from the Waterfront Park along the Hudson in Athens, NY. I actually went there hoping that one of the Tall Ships would be there that will be parading up the Hudson next week. Unfortunately, no ship was there, but these red benches looking out over the river under the Chestnut Tree captured my attention. Without a ship, they became the focal point of my painting. Two women came along and sat down on one of the benches, chatting and gazing out onto the water, so I popped them into the painting too!

Great work!!! Each of the last 3 are beautiful, but the view from the top of the falls is GORGEOUS!!!

Joan, thanks so much! I hope to return to the top of the fall soon…Lots of paintings to be done from up there!

Something to say?
