Hadson Valley
22 x 26
oil on canvas
This painting depicts Clermont Manor set within a landscape that captures the natural essence of the Hudson River Valley with its slow-moving waters and the unhurried rhythm of life in Upstate New York. The Clermont mansion is a historic site; Robert R. Livingston, a member of the Committee of Five appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence, resided on this estate.
In this painting, I portray an idyllic union of human endeavor and nature. To this day, this mansion stands as a symbolic emblem of our conflicting aspirations, our desire for beauty and harmony with the natural world, alongside our attempts, whether intentional or inadvertent, to subjugate nature through the landscapes we have shaped.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
