Hudson River Landscape Fellowship - the end

The Hudson River Landscape Fellowship is over and I made it back to civilization. I have so many great photos to share from the trip, but here are just a small sampling of some people's work. I had such an incredible month! Working outside every day is the life, and getting to share it with all these great people was such a treat. I'll try to make some larger photo albums with more artwork to share soon. For now, I just wanted to get something posted right away. You'll also find links to the artist's websites below. Thanks for being patient!
