I love painting the Palisades section of the Hudson River. For some reason I can’t quite fathom, this is the first time I’ve painted the cliffs in a panoramic format! I really like the way the 1:2 ratio turned out. It enabled me to add trees and foliage without obscuring so much of the cliffs. I think that come spring, I need to go back with a larger panel and do another!

This was painted from one of the many gorgeous photos I was able to get during my trip to the Adirondacks this fall. We had a lot of rain during the few days I was there, but the day we arrived was absolutely stellar! I made the most of it. This was one of the spots we visited on our first day up there. I can’t wait to do a large painting of this scene!

Over the summer, I visited the new Golden Foundation property in New Berlin, New York. It’s a gorgeous tract of land featuring old barns, pastoral fields, walking paths, overviews, streams, and golden hillsides. I did some sketches on location, and took a bunch of photos. I’m starting to explore that collection of images now. This is my first painting from the site.

Autumn at Hidden Falls

9×12″, oils on linen

This was painted on location at a favorite spot deep in the woods. Last year when I was at the Vedder Library going through sketches by Hudson River School artists BBG Stone, I came upon a sketch he’d done from this very spot! I recognized it immediately because of the shape of the huge boulder at an angle at the base of the falls, and also a rock outcropping that is just out of the view of this painting. It was very exciting for me to know that he’d been here also.

Nearing Sunset at Olana

6×8″, oils on archival board
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

This was painted before sunset at the Hudson River School “Olana” site, former home of painter Frederic Church. The long shadows, high contrast, and captivating color of the light were what drew me to this scene looking north above the Hudson.
