Boathouse on the Hudson - Finished?
I think "Boathouse on the Hudson" is finished. I'll have to look at it over the next few weeks to see if there is anything that I want to change. If it stands up to scrutiny I will submitt it to the New Jersey Watercolor Society 66th Annual Open Juried Show in October.
News: The painting was accepted into the show on Sat. Oct. 4th.
Blue Dinghy - Piermont
This is another image of the Hudson River from Piermont NY. looking north toward Hook Mountain and the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Watercolor, image size 21"x14".
This is a later revision of the image above. After looking at it over a few weeks I decided to add more contrast to the hull, add more red to the foreground, darken the forested hillside, added more color to the horizon and made the high sky darker.
New Hudson River paintings - Piermont, NY
"Piermont View", watercolor, 22wx14h
"Riverside - Piermont", watercolor, 22wx14h
These two watercolors are scenes from the riverside town of Piermont, NY. The town is located just 25 miles upriver from Times Square, but a world away. At this location the Husdon River is almost three miles wide, so it is experienced more like a large lake than a river.
Grace Church interior watercolor
This is a recent commissioned work; an interior view of the altar of a local church. It is a much renovated and elarged church. It seems that with each renovation the interior became darker as the windows moved farther away from the nave, so that now the altar is lit mainly by artificial light.
Rosenlof and Aunio Exhibiting at the Salmagundi Club
This is an excerp from an arcticle by Saga Blane in the May 29th issue of NORDEN newspaper on the Salmagundi Exhibit.
“Gustav Rosenlof draws immediate comparisons with Edward Hopper. His primary subject, houses, are rendered in bold, saturated colors and clean geometrical lines. There is a prevading emptiness and marked absence of humanity. Unlike Hopper, however, Rosenlof's emptiness is not one of psychological abandonment. Rather, his paintings are balanced and the emptiness peaceful, a movie-set where the actors have gone off to lunch.
His townscapes and “Shaker Series” evoke a gentle nostalgia for the American Dream, for the wholesomeness of life and communal living. His close-ups of rooftops act as snapshots of the mundane, where everyday elements are blown up and larger-than-life. His work reflects his training as an architect, and the rationality in his paintings harks back to the Scandinavian preference for clarity in pure color and simple lines.”
