Painting the hudson river

The Pond
My afternoon painting...please note...these are completely en plein air and need a bit of tweaking!

The Hudson River
My morning painting.  This scene is painted right in front of Frederic Edwin Church's home.

Susan Ogilvie at work...She just did an quick value/color study demo for us today so that we could get to our painting...and sold it unfinished right off the easel.  When asked if she was uncomfortable with selling it unfinished she replied that it would be one less thing to carry home and that the important things must have been in enough that someone else could see and feel the Hudson River valley in it!  

Olana
The persian style home of Frederic Church.  Our group watching Susan Ogilvie's demo.
If you haven't seen her finished work....check out her website.  She is as nice and approachable as her paintings are beautiful.  I just spent 45 minutes talking with just her about my art journey and she was really great...very humble but willing to share what ever she has learned.
