| JANE LAWTON | Hudson River Valley Artist | Oil on canvas | | | | | | When I moved from steamy New Orleans to New York’s Hudson River Valley, I found I had to alter my painting techniques in some surprising ways. New Orleans landscapes stay pretty much the same all year round, but the color, light and seasons of the Hudson River Valley are constantly changing. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Red Barn 11 X 14 | | | | Whether I’m painting a frozen waterfall in February or long rays of afternoon sun on a country lane in August, my brushes have to move briskly. And my favorite subjects - wispy light greens and pastel flowering trees in spring - will last a few days,then morph into something different. That’s okay. I’ve achieved afresher, more painterly style trying to keep pace with mother nature. | | | | | | | | | | | | JaneLawton.com (845) 255-1469 e-mail - JLawton98(at)localnet.com | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | © Copyright 2007 by Jane Lawton All Rights Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
