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.

Boathouse on the Hudson in progress.

This is an, in progress, image of a new painting of a Boathouse on the Hudson River.

I completed the top half first so that I can use it as a reference for the reflections in the bottom half. Reflections are tricky. If they don't work out, I can discard the bottom half and still have a presentable painting.

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.

See my painting, "Old Post Office" at the North East Watercolor Society, 32nd Annual International Open Exhibition at The Gallery at Kent Art Association, Kent CT. from Oct. 23rd to Nov. 9th.

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.
