content: Atmosphere and landscape sketch showing a view of a rich, orange sky at sunset over the Hudson River Valley, as viewed from the artist's property in Hudson, New York. Nearby treetops are visible in the foreground at lower left, while the slightly faded Catskill Escarpment creates a rolling horizon in the background at lower left. The sky and clouds near the horizon are a rich red orange that transitions to a softer orange-yellow at center and center right. These colors transition to a bluish green along the upper margin. Puffy and wispy clouds are warmly lit throughout.
