Have you ever noticed the amazing colors in the night sky? We have the most amazing sunset in the Hudson Valley. Purples, oranges, yellows and grays all mix together to making it look like the sky is on fire. Fortunately, along with those amazing skies we also have amazing artists who can capture the moment.

The Hudson Valley is well known for its art. The natural light we have in our region has been the drawing artist to the area for hundreds of years. The natural light also makes our outdoor painting experiences worth the effort. Plein Air painting in the Hudson Valley is very popular. Plein Air is the technique of painting outside and the finished piece reflects the area where the painter has set up to Paint.

On Saturday May 22 the Mohonk Preserve and Roost Studios and Art Gallery will again hold a Plein Air Art Walk. The one they had last fall was a huge success. It gave Hudson Valley Artist the chance to paint while people stool by to watch and then later the paintings were up for sale in an online auction. This Springs event is from 10 AM to 3 PM next Saturday (May 22, 2021) and it is free to members of the preserve. Others can stroll the walk for a $15 fee.

This Springs Art Walk will have 26 artist represented and many of them artists who are highly collectible. On the day of the event artist will be located in Pin Oak Allee, the Lenape Lane Carriage road and at the Ridgeview trail. People strolling through are invited to watch the artist as they paint and create pieces of original art.
