F.E. Green is perhaps one of the most accomplished painters living today following in the footsteps of the world-renowned Hudson River Valley School of painters. His media are pastel and oils. The scenes which he paints on-site, plein-aire, are generally located between Saugerties and New Paltz along New York State's Hudson River. He frequently paints on-site at Olana, the residence of Frederick Church. Church ranks amongst the most highly recognized, nationally and internationally, of the Hudson River Valley painters. His home is now open to the public and is considered a premier museum site in the United States. Green is fascinated and dedicated to the effect of light on the breathtaking Hudson River landscapes. Anyone who has visited Olana will remember the awe-inspiring juxtaposition of sun and clouds as storms blow up the valley and mix with sunbeams streaming through breaks in the sky. Or perhaps the visitor has been there on a late summer day as haze, created by the sweltering sun, lifts off the river and lazily rises but never covers the tops of the surrounding Catskill Mountains. Green finds inspiration in the work of the Luminists and Hudson River Valley painters such as Kennsett, Church, Gifford, and Martin Johnson Heade. |
