Description

Bold,splashy winter abstract of the snow covered woods in Palenville,in the Catskill mountain region of upstate New York. Winter landscapes take on so many colors and hues and have such different moods depending on the type of day! The beginnings of a sunset on a cold wintry day can be a glorious sight - colors and shadows play across the snowy landscape - just inviting an abstract interpretation of the scene!
Palenville is a small hamlet in the Village of Catskill, and is described as America's First Art Colony! Palenville was an important center of the 19th century Hudson River school of art. Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and other well known artists stayed and worked in Palenville during this period.Kindred Spirits,the famous painting depicting Thomas Cole and William Cullen Bryant was of an area near Kaaterskill Falls, just uphill from the town of Palenville. The famous Catskill Mountain House was also located up the mountain just outside of Palenville. Palenville is also said to be the fictional home of Rip van Winkle. For many years it was also known for its swinging bridge (I was not thrilled having to walk over it with my grandson to get to the swimming hole!) Unfortunately the bridge was destroyed during Hurricane Irene.
A bold statement piece for your home or business decor! Great for a ski lodge or country home or Inn .This original watercolor painting is done with basically primary colors and dark browns!
