For most of this summer, all the creeks and waterfalls were dry. I used the opportunity to paint some of the rock formations around waterfalls, and in this case, the bridge above yielded a nice bright focal point amidst the summer greens and the rocks.

After the Rain at the Falls

This waterfall is nestled deep in the woods behind my house, so I go there to paint frequently. Following a rainfall, the sound is a roar as the water hits the base of the falls and rushes down the many cascades below.

This is one of those scenes that I had my eye on for a year or so before I had a chance to get out there and paint it. The location is very close to a dramatic waterfall, so I always ended up painting the falls instead! I went out there several days in a row, and so finally had the opportunity to sit by the quiet, meandering stream with my paints.

Summer at the Old Homestead

This is Hudson River School artist Frederic Church’s original home on his Olana estate. He lived here in “Cosy Cottage” before building the huge mansion atop the hill overlooking the Hudson River. I love this view from the side, with the hill in the distance and farm fields below. I’ve been painting it for a couple of years in different seasons and formats, and checking it out at different times of day to see the lighting variations. I really want to do a very large painting of the scene, so in the meantime, I’m exploring what form that will take! Below is an image you can click on for a larger, clearer view of the painting:

I’ve been picking up some ship models at flea markets to paint and sketch.This is a really old model of the Santa Maria, wonky and aged and appears hand carved. It has a character that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it! I brought it out to the patio and painted it in acrylic.

After a full day of painting, I usually go out on the patio and relax with a tall glass of iced tea and my little dog, BB. I sit in a comfortable chair and admire the hanging plants, backlit by the late afternoon sun, and enhanced by the dark trees in the background. I’ve always wanted to paint them, but by that point in the day, I’m just too tired to pull out my paints again. Eventually I did get around to painting them though, as you can see!

This painting was done from the same location as yesterday’s panoramic view, but from a different vantage point. The vertical composition enabled me to showcase different features of this Overlook Mountain view from Woodstock, NY.

This was painted on a gorgeous day in Woodstock, New York. I stood on this path through the fields facing Overlook Mountain in the Catskills, enjoying the sights and sounds of the (very) early morning! Below is an image you can click on for a larger, clearer view of the scene:

This is a favorite fall vista from Olana, homestead of Hudson River School painter Frederic Church. Every time I go there, I stroll past this field and overlook to see how the color has changed through the seasons. The fall grasses begged to be painted! I did this small one, and then did a larger version of it (which you can see by clicking here). I recently realized that I’d neglected to photograph and post this smaller one!

This is a view from Hudson River School painter Frederic Church’s homestead, Olana. It was painted on location at a spot close to where one of his studios was located on the property. The pond, Hudson River, and Catskill Mountains are all visible in the scene with the drama of the sunset. I never get tired of painting at Olana!

I’ve had a really hard time getting a decent photo of this painting, so I’ll just say that the photo cannot do this one justice! Below is an image that you can click on to get a larger, clearer view of the image, but it still doesn’t look nearly as nice as the actual painting!
