We're now heading into our second week here in New Hampshire. The first week was spent finding our bearings in the area and familiarizing ourselves with the surrounding landscape, mostly spent doing pencil drawings and quick oil sketches. This week has seen us fall into a rhythm, with most of the fellows starting the morning session at Jackson Falls in town, and then branching out to surrounding cascades, mountain outlooks and notches within a 45 minute radius. The White Mountain National Park is filled with vistas and steeply rising mountainsides, at times reaching upwards of 3,000 feet from the valley floor.

Last night the townspeople of Jackson and the Fellows met up at a landscape lecture held at the Whitney Center. Catherine Amidon (Director of the Museum of the White Mountains) gave an excellent lecture on the White Mountain/Hudson River School painting tradition and its connection to geological work, 19th century tourism and the growth of New York City.
