About the Item

36 x 48 inches oil on canvas, unframed (thin wood stripping only) Contemporary Hudson River winter landscape oil painting, horizontally oriented. A snowy, iced over river is lined with highly detailed trees that have lost their foliage. Catskill Mountains are set against a blue, cloudy sky. This painting has a minimal palette of white and grays yet are highlighted with vibrant accents of cobalt blue as the ice peeks through the snow. About the artist: Sullivan started out in the 1960s as a New York City painter, and was an integral part of the New York scene. Sullivan’s works are in such collections as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Public library and the Albany Institute of History and Art. He has been in countless group exhibitions and locally, his works have been exhibited in a show curated by poet John Ashbery at the St. Charles Hotel in Hudson, and currently shows with Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson. About the work by John Ashbery: With only a tinge of irony, Bill Sullivan makes new the vast spaces and swooning optimism of nineteeth-century Luminist painting. Reaffirming the contemplation of nature as its own reward, he also sets new tasks for painting and undertakes them with compelling eagerness. While there has been a tendency among some contemporary artists to present a revisionist view of the "great outdoors" of nineteenth-century landscape painters, Sullivan has no satirical agenda. After spending several years in South America amid the landscapes that attracted Frederic Edwin Church and Martin Heade, among others, he refined and strengthened this awesome imagery after returning to New York. A certain surreality floats though these vaporous visions of Columbia, though this may just be the result of Sullivan's careful documentation of scenes that looked unreal to begin with.

Cheviot in Winter (Country Landscape Painting of Hudson River in the Winter)
By John Kelly
Located in Hudson, NY
Impressionistic landscape painting of the Hudson River during the wintertime in tones of grey, white, slate, blue, dark brown and green Oil on linen, 22 x 28 inches John Kelly approaches the Hudson Valley landscape with the eye of an architect and the hand of an impressionist. With intense attention paid to form and light, Kelly nevertheless manages to abstract the landscape just slightly, breaking earth, sky, and atmosphere down to their most elemental qualities. In this painting, a body of water, solidified into ice, stretches toward a murky treeline. The painting is composed primarily in a palette of pale blue, gray, and pink, with white, dark green, and gray accents. About the artist: Hudson Valley based painter John Kelly received his education from the Art Institute of Boston and Buffalo State. He has been exhibiting around the northeastern United States since the 1970s.
