I arrived at Garrison Art Center at 7am last Saturday morning, armed with a blank canvas. Dolores stamped the back of my canvas and I went out by the banks of the Hudson River to begin my painting... 6 chilly but productive hours later, these "Two Canoes" were complete. 20"x20", oil on linen. At 5pm that same day, the 'fresh' painting went to live auction under a tent on the banks of the Hudson River, overlooking West Point. It is one of my favorite painting days of the year
