Tranquillity at Esopus Bend

Hello, all you art lovers and blog readers! I apologize for neglecting this blog for a while, but I am back, with a painting of a beautiful local trout stream, the Esopus Creek, at a memorable spot at a memorable time of day.
I am Ellen Perantoni, painter of the landscape in oil in a manner inspired by the Hudson River School of the nineteenth century. I live an paint in the Hudson Valley, in a studio in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the west wide of the river.
My e-mail address in eperantoni@yahoo.com and you can view more of my art on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni
This painting is on 11x14" canvas in a complementary 4" wide tarnished gold frame which I believe offsets the sunset glow nicely. On the wall th painting measures about 21x24". It is on exhibit at Green (Gallery) at 92 Partition St., Saugerties, NY. Green is open every day except Tuesday and Wednesday, from 10-5.
I hope you will read my other posts in the blog, going back to 2007. Many of the paintings in the blog posts have been sold but some are still available.
I show my art in my studio by appointment (about 2 hours north of the NYC metro area, within a few hours of most points in New England, NJ and eastern PA). I am represented by several fine art galleries.
If you purchase a painting from me from an internet photo without seeing the actual painting, you can return it for a refund within 30 days. Most people think the actual paintings look better than the photos, as digital photos use dot matrix photography which does not show the depth of my work.
Enjoy the blog, and have a great day! I would love to hear from you.
Best, Ellen
