| The mist through the early morning trees. |
By the time you’re reading this I’ll have painted all day at
Olana at the 2nd Annual Ted Beardsley Memorial Paint-Out. Yesterday I drove to Kingston and saw Bruce Bundock’s fantastic show at the
Rosendale Café, and then on to
Jamie Grossman’s lovely home in the Catskills.
This morning, at the crack of dawn, I set off on an amble through the Catskill countryside. I confess that as much as I’ve wandered the byways of New York, this was the longest hike I’ve ever taken in this area.
 |
| Episcopal Church in Palenville was atmospheric as all get out, but when the mist burned off, it was more prosaic. |
 |
| Outhouses? I have a knack for finding them. |
 |
| I would love to know the history of this building. It’s a meeting house, with the balcony and rood screen still in place, attached to a house of the same vintage. |
 |
| The stone wall is a fixture of the northeast, but varies in form depending on the underlying rocks. |

Jamie has six waterfalls on her property. I’ve admired this one many times from the bottom, but this morning I looked at it from the top. It’s calling to me.
|
 |
| Sun tea in the early morning mist! |
 |
| Oh, no! There’s a branch across this waterfall! Where’s the son-in-law with his chain saw when you need him? |
