Jane Bloodgood-Abrams
Creek Meets River: Hudson River School Landscape Painting of Water and Mountains

2021

About the Item

Modern Luminist, Hudson River School landscape painting on canvas of a creek and river meeting around a forest bend with mountains in the distance "Where Creek Meets River" 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 left 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 afternoon sun, over a majestic river valley. Sun illuminates the water below and contrasts against a soft blue sky and the warm green foliage of late summer leaves. 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.

  • Domain (Contemporary Hudson Valley Landscape Oil Painting in Wood Frame)
    By Leigh Palmer
    Located in Hudson, NY
    acrylic on paper mounted on board 35 x 35 inches framed Romantic (yet modern) Hudson River oil landscape painting of rolling, hilly farmland with trees in the foreground with a luminous blue sky in the background. Palmer's realistic technique captures the many textures of the natural world, from meticulously rendered trees to the clouds that hover gently overhead. The painting floats in a black-painted wood frame with a wire across the back for instant, professional-quality hanging. About the artist: In 1987, Leigh Palmer moved with his family from suburban Duxbury, Massachusetts, to Tivoli, New York, a quiet town on the Hudson River, north of New York City. His subject matter shifted to the sprawling hills and countryside of the Hudson Valley. “I wanted to respond to the new landscape I was seeing, to catch something of the feeling I had just before dark,” says Palmer. “I took a lot of photographs, but I was happier with the paintings I created from memory.” Leigh Palmer has been represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY for over 25 years.

  • "West Point" John Ferguson Weir, Hudson River School Landscape with Sailboats
    By John Ferguson Weir
    Located in New York, NY
    John Ferguson Weir West Point, 1873 Signed and dated lower left Oil on panel 12 1/8 x 20 1/8 inches Provenance: Sotheby's Arcade, American Paintings, December 19, 2003, Lot 1091 Spanierman Gallery, New York Private Collection, New York (acquired directly from the above) Exhibited: Roslyn, Nassau County Museum of Fine Art, William Cullen Bryant, The Weirs and American Impressionism, April 24, 1983-July 31, 1983. A painter, sculptor, writer, and teacher, John Weir was a highly talented man whose painting was overshadowed by his father, Robert Weir, the long-time West Point Academy drawing teacher, and his brother, J Alden Weir, well-known impressionist painter. His distinguished reputation was primarily based on his accomplishments as a teacher and administrator. For many years, from 1869 to 1913, John Weir was the Director of the Yale University School of Fine Arts. He was also a commissioner of the art exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Weir was born at West Point, New York, and by age 20, had a studio in New York City in the Tenth Street Studio Building, the first building in America dedicated to art studios, and there he associated with many leading painters of the day. He earned attention early in his career for paintings of industrial scenes...
