As mentioned here before, I joined the Hudson Valley Plein Air Society with the intent of painting with them starting this fall; today was my first excursion with this group. We went to Boscobell with its incredible view of the Hudson. On a day that was 97 and so humid schools here were sending kids home early, we were painting outside, so everyone found some shade. I was under the next tree over to the right of the photo below, looking at a different angle on the valley below. This painting is small (6″ x 8″) and was done rather quickly in about two hours. Armed with watermelon and ice water, I had fun, and hope to return to this spot again this fall to paint the view under other conditions.
