Nature and the grand American Vision: Masterpieces of the Hudson River School PaintersI saw this exhibition at the Columbia Museum of Art with my friend Jessica who grew up in Stony Point near Nyack, NY and is an expert on these painters, although she wouldn't classify herself that way. It is the first event of my second journey in the Turtle. And if this is an indication of how beautiful this trip will be, then I am very fortunate. This one won't be as solitary as the last. I am visiting a host of cousins, community members, friends, and one person that bought "Best Kept Secrets". Two stops in SC-Columbia and Charleston; one stop at Crooked River State Park for two nights so I can visit Cumberland Island. Then on to Florida. I am hoping to experience, "pleasant reminiscences and grateful emotions springing up at every step" to paraphrase Asher B. Durand who painted the luminous landscape above.
