--------SOME HISTORY
-------
You are likely to agree with
nineteenth century
writer Nathaniel Parker Willis that the
Hudson is indeed one of America's great rivers and
"a spot of the earth with soul."
The Hudson River is a river running
mainly through New York State but
partly forming the boundary between
the states of New York and New Jersey.
It is named for Henry Hudson, an
Englishman sailing for the
Netherlands, who explored it in
1609. Early European settlement of the
area clustered around the river.
The area inspired the Hudson River school of
painting, a sort of early American pastoral idyll.

This is a new take on the hudson nice job I love how you did thisJo Ripley 01 Oct 2007
this is totally amazing-I love impasto-did you use a knife-if so next time try a old comb or after you have finished the painting cut a piece of screen(like the kind on a window) and press it quickly and lift, the effect is so different. this painting is so beautiful, wish I could afford to buy it. best regards JoAlexandra Dvinitninova 07 Sep 2007
A look into the future.Anneke Hut 07 Sep 2007
Great artwork, I can imagine you love the paste, it fits so well to your style. Have you tried already to add little pieces of tissue to the paste and mould them when it's still wet? You will be surprised by the effect!:) The colours are so beautiful, they sparkle from my screen.Lior Goldenberg 06 Sep 2007

HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS YOUR FIRST PAINTING; REALLY BEAUTIFUL, OLGA!! PAINT ON :)Libbe Bouma 07 Dec 2006
Olga,dit is één van de eerste abstrakten welke ik kan lezen...lol ik kijk al 5 min en zie elke keer weer iets nieuws.. Het kleur gebruik is prachtig en je texture bevrijdend als ik zo even mag noemen. De verdeling is erg mooi en is denk ik ook hetgeen wat mij beet houdt om te blijven/willen ontdekken. Misschien als ik toch comments wil geven op een verbeter punt zou ik ééns kiezen voor een ander type lijst en wel in een vorm zonder rondingen....maar da's ook weer smaak. Verder zou op basis van dit een drieluik wellicht ook erg mooi zijn en dan in een forse afmeting (100cmx30cm / 100cmx60cm / 100cmx30cm bv)waarvan er één om de hoek kan in een kamer.... ok ok stop al draaf door.....lol. A great one,very nice !!Jerie kunitsky 07 Dec 2006
