Jane Bloodgood-Abrams
An Autumn Reverie (Contemporary Impressionist Landscape of a Riverbank)

2021

About the Item

Modern Luminist, Hudson River School landscape painting on canvas of a Riverbank, richly colored foliage and moon on the horizon "An Autumn Reverie" by Jane Bloodgood-Abrams, painted in 2021 Horizontal landscape painting, 36 x 48 inches unframed with white painted sides wired on reverse for easy hanging Artist's signature is located on lower right This modern Hudson River School and Luminist style landscape painting was made by Hudson Valley artist, Jane Bloodgood-Abrams in 2021. Bloodgood is largely celebrated for her awe-inspiring landscapes influenced by Hudson River School painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole. This painting is a perfect example of Bloodgood's aesthetic. The work features large clouds, warmly lit by the evening sun, over a majestic river valley. Sun illuminates the water below and contrasts against a soft blue sky, faded moon and the deeply saturated foliage of early autumn leaves. Whether a soft tonal moonscape or a dramatic aerial view at sunset, the artist aims to express the pervading light and atmosphere of the Hudson Valley. Paint is applied with an academic approach, with a realistic representation of the landscape and little to no texture built upon the surface. About the work: Painter Jane Bloodgood-Abrams has become one of the area’s most celebrated artists, gracing viewers with her compositions of sky, river, and earth. Being less concerned with documenting specific scenes, Bloodgood-Abrams is focused on capturing nature’s essence, “the deeply profound moments, where there is a connection to a vital energy.” Her process begins with being in nature, where she allows the emotional energy of the landscape to filter through her psyche. The memory is then translated onto canvas after being worked over a period of time with layers of paint that is applied, wiped away, and reworked. The result is a radiantly dramatic remembrance of Bloodgood-Abram’s encounter with “something beyond everyday life”. The artist’s final hope is for these images to evoke remembrances within the viewer's own personal relationship with nature. Artist Biography: Jane Bloodgood Abrams was born in Queens, New York. She received her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, in 1985. Three years later, she earned a Master’s of Fine Arts at the State University of New York in New Paltz. Now she paints in the Hudson River Valley and the Berkshires.
