Cohoes Falls Study - SOLD

Cohoes Falls Study
oil on stretched canvas
6 x 12 inches
SOLD

Here’s a study of an early spring view of Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River; the second largest waterfall in New York state.
A friend of mine took me on a little tour of the falls and the town of Cohoes the other day (Thanks, NMS). I learned a cool fact about the falls - A prehistoric mastadon (woolly mammoth) was found there back in the 1800s!! The mammoth is now being displayed at the New York State museum. I think that’s so cool.

This study is already sold, but I plan on completing a couple larger versions in the near future.

This bridge leads to a Lock on the Hudson River. Locks are there to help boats get to “higher ground” on the river, usually because of the waterfalls. It’s a great process to watch! The boats head in, the great big metal doors close behind them, and the water slowly rises. Once the Lock fills up, the gates open and the boats can head on their way.

The Hudson

SOLD

Here’s a wider version of the same view looking up the Hudson River towards the falls. This stretch of the Hudson is so different from what most people imagine when they think of the river. Here it’s the more narrow, meandering, tree-lined Hudson compared to the large expansive, pier lined Hudson closer to NYC.

A Commissioned House Portrait

March 7th, 2008 takeyce Posted in sold | 5 Comments »


oil on canvas
16 x 20 inches
SOLD - Commission

Here’s a commission that I have been working on for a few weeks now. It is a gift from a client in Texas to her parents for their 50th anniversary. The house is close by, so I was able to take some pictures of it and meet the owners. They were absolutely wonderful! The kind of people whom after speaking with for 5 minutes, you feel as though you’ve known them forever.

The house is beautiful, both outside and in. It sits on a little hill that overlooks the Hudson River.
The little pooch in the painting is their beloved dog, Grace who is no longer with us. The owners wanted to include her in the painting, because she was a special part of their family and home. Here’s a close up of her:

Needless to say, I am very happy and honored that I was chosen to do this painting. It not only provided a wonderful challenge, but it also brought new friends. Thank you!
