Hudson Valley Plein Air 2018

This is one of my entries to the Hudson Valley Plein Air festival 2018 which was held the second week of October 2018. I painted the scene on a rainy night down at the Strand in Kingston, NY.

It was awarded the Best in Show for which I am grateful to my fellow artist participants that judged the show as well as the staff at the Walkill school of Art who made this event possible.

Old St. Patrick's Cathedral

​Here's a nocturne I painted of Old St. Patrick's church in Manhattan. I was standing on the corner of Prince and Lafayette and had a little thumb box with me - very stealthy.

Here are a few paintings that I recently uploaded to Facebook. My friend the artist Marlene Wiedenbaum invited me to participate.http://www.wiedenbaum.com/

Thanks Marlene!

Hudson Nocturne

This is a night-time painting I did at the site of the old Brass Anchor restaurant which burned down last year. The marina was relatively empty, although I eliminated all the boats except the one up on supports on the gravel berme which forms the mouth of the harbor. The moonlight and the single boat emphasized the loneliness of the scene which was what most impressed me about the place.
