label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing view of vibrant summer sunset over the Hudson Valley, as viewed from a point near the artist's property in Hudson, New York. Treetops and wooded terrain extend across the immediate foreground, backdropped by the Hudson River flowing across the middle distance. Its heavily wooded opposite bank is visible just beyond it. In the background, the light of the setting sun illuminates a cloudbank in a fiery red-orange spectacle that fades to purple in clouds above. The sky behind is rendered in a gradient from yellow-green to deep aquamarine. The Catskill Mountains form a rolling horizon, which descends at right to a rolling landscape.
