Heron's View - Coxsackie

The Hudson River is beautiful.

This is a quick gouache sketch of the Hudson river at Coxsackie. I was trying to capture the reflection of the sky on the water, and the different saturation from the trees that were only a few hundred feet vs those that were much farther away. Painting moving water is particularly challenging, because it’s, well, moving. And the tides on the Hudson, even up here, swing many feet four times a day, so the angle of the dock was different by the time I finished the drawing.

This is a sweet little painting.

The actual drawing is small, 12” x 9”. It's a small drawing with details as if it were a larger canvas.

And it's a gift to the Hudson River

All proceeds from print sales go to the Hudson River Foundation. This is a chance to get a wonderful piece of art and help ensure that the river remains a great place for generations to come.

The print is a faithful rendition of the original.
