SOUNDINGS series

SOUNDINGS: is the newest series of Riverscapes playing with the idea of sonic underwater imaging of topography, trade winds, seasonal flows and benthic mapping of the Hudson River bottom. Think of visualizing the unseen river bottom as a landscape. Most of the titles for these paintings come from the weather and depth measurements journal written by Robert Juet who sailed on the ship The Half Moon in 1609 with Henry Hudson during its historic explorations of Americas First River. We are about to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the exploration of the Hudson River. My hope is that these works will help get the public thinking about the Hudson as something living and continue to help in it's cleanup. The beauty of the river is not just on the surface. There is a whole world to explore beneath the surface too.
