'Catskill Blues'
Plein Air
Plein Air
Oil
8 x 10
I just got back from taking a fantastic workshop by Ron
Donoughe, and then heading up to Albany, NY so that
we could explore the Hudson River Valley down to West Point.
Here's a warning - NEVER rely solely on your electronics...
we had programmed our GPS with all of the locations we wanted
to see, and as we started our journey, the GPS died.
Thank goodness we both knew how to read maps,
but there were still a large number of U-turns and some cursing!!!
I did this painting on site at North-South Lake in the Catskills,
and it took me about two hours to complete.
It was a place that Thomas Cole (the founder of the
Hudson River Valley School of Painting) used to like
to paint, and I can certainly understand why.
I kept hoping this tree beside me would keep standing...

Awesome Claire!
Great post Claire and good advice. I just love your use of color. Hope to see you soon.
Beautiful layering of the masses! I like how you used the dark area behind the highlights in the lower right. Could look at this again and again
Such a great painting Claire! and glad that you found some time to paint on your vacation!!
