Description
A treatment of ice on Kaaterskill Creek ,running through the hamlet of Palenville in the Town of Catskill,NY, done in shades of purple. Palenville is located in the southwest part of the Town of Catskill, at the junction of Routes 23A and 32A. It is at the foot of Kaaterskill Clove, nestled against the base of the Catskill Mountains. Kaaterskill Creek runs through the hamlet of Palenville,and at one point is spanned by a locally famous swinging footbridge. There are a number of swimming holes often used in the summer months, and the Long Path runs through the town.
During the the 19th century,Palenville was an important center of the Hudson River school of artists. Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and several other well known artists stayed and worked in Palenville during the hay day of the HUdson River movement. The famous painting of Cole and William Cullen Bryant near Kaaterskill Falls,entiled Kindred Spirits was done just uphill from the town. The Catskill Mountain House,a once famous resort was also located just outside Palenville. Palenvillealso prides itself on being the fictional home of Rip van Winkle.
On entering Palenville one sees a sign declaring it to be the 'First Art Colony in America' (as sited by Dr. Roland Van Zandt, author of The Catskill Mountain House).There are many waterfalls along the creek, and in fact, it was sometimes called the "Village of Falling Waters". from wikipedia
