Hudson River #8

About the Item

My New paintings are observations of the Hudson River and its environs. I travel by train back and forth from New York City to Poughkeepsie through the Hudson River Valley. As the train travels along the banks of the Hudson River I observe the varied terrain of the river landscape. I have grown familiar with the geography of the river as it flows through valleys with lush river banks and through mountains and deep woods. The new paintings are about what I see from the window of the train as it speeds along the river bank. I’m interested in portraying the passing landscape and painting a glimpse of what I’ve seen. These new river paintings are more abstract than my previous landscape paintings and I think more intimate in there impressionistic style. There’s a quality of motion in my depiction of the river as I watch it pass by at a fast speed - light and reflections are fleeting and the terrain is ever changing. Working from memory and photos, and on a smaller scale than before, I paint an impression of what I observed, in oil paint applied with a rubber spatula in a dragging method that smears the paint in an impressionistic evocation of both the speed and movement in train travel and the still presence of the river scene.
