content: Atmosphere sketch showing a view of clouds over the rolling landscape east of the artist's property on Long Hill in Hudson, New York. In the middle distance at center, the top of a hill range is visible--likely the small formation known as Becraft Hills. Along the horizon in the background, a bank of puffy, billowing clouds are shown at center with a tower rising high into the sky, while dark striations of mixed clouds are visible above it at left and below it at right.

content: Verso: Landscape sketch showing a view of a cloudy sunset over the Catskill Escarpment, as seen from or near the artist's property in Hudson, New York. Looking west-northwest, the various peaks of the escarpment--specifically, Blackhead at center left and Acra Point and Windham High Peak at center right--form a rolling horizon across the composition. Above, a tumultuous mix of clouds are brightly illuminated by the setting sun behind them.
