NEWBURGH—Artists from around the area gathered on July 30 at SUNY Orange-Newburgh’s Kaplan Hall for a Paint-Out Overlooking the Hudson.
The skies threatened as Linda Barboni, Janet Howard-Fatta, Dennis Fanton, Anne Kelly, Mary Mugele Sealfon, and Mitchell Saler depicted the Hudson River from the campus plaza green in various media.
Soon a heavy thunderstorm engulfed the scene and the artists continued to work inside, taking advantage of floor-to-ceiling vistas.
Kelly worked in pastels. Her multicolored landscape turned the treeline above the river into a colorful forest. The trees were no longer just green but lit up with the colors of the artistic imagination.
