Artist’s Hudson Studio in Autumn

For one year my studio overlooked the Hudson River in Piermont New York. While I painted the river in different seasons weather and times of day I decided to create a series in which the arched window artist’s table top wing chair and richly colored carpet would be constant and the objects on the table on the wall and chair would reflect the changing seasons also viewed in the changing landscape before me. The challenge was to remain consistent in the format yet keep the viewer’s interest with different objects on the table and wall that I painted throughout the year. The paintings became autobiographical as I included objects from my life and from family and friends. Autumn has a Tiffany glass vase holding purple Vanda orchids turquoise squash blossom necklace given to me by my husband’s mother.
