LAKE GEORGE, 48” x 72”, 2004
This is my rendition of 'Lake George' after a painting by John F. Kensett. I love his work and have travelled to Bolton's Landing on the lake in order to see this view. Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the state of New York. The painting is a prime example of those produced by the Hudson River School. The Hudson River School was a mid-19th century American art movement embodied by a group of landscape painters whose aesthetic vision was influenced by romanticism. The paintings for which the movement is named depict the Hudson River Valley and the surrounding area, including the Catskill, Adirondack, and the White Mountains.
