About The Artwork
I hike with my dog on a trail in a Nature Conservancy Preserve in the Hudson Valley of Upstate New York. We walk around a large pond. The pond is wild with vegetal, animal and bird life. After observing years of seasonal and weather changes, I painted the pond. Then I painted it again and again and soon I had a series. I've made more than 20 paintings in all seasons. They are based on an observation or a memory. I'm capturing a sensation of color, light, texture and reflection as well as mood. The painting Pond Fugue is from a walk on a cloudy day. There is a feeling for mid-tones yet also deep shadows and the lighter grays of the passing clouds. A bit of vegetation is visible. I'm asking you to take a walk with me. This oil painting is on hand-gessoed archival paper and is signed Ginny Howsam Friedman.

I live and work in Dutchess County/the Hudson Valley/Upstate New York. Here I cannot escape--the landscape. This natural environment has deep connections for me: rivers, ponds, mountains, trails, wetlands, farmland, forests. I look for underlying geometry and order amid nature's chaos. I paint an imagined reality from a perceived experience. With charcoal, graphite and oil sticks while layering oils, I interpret through memory, imagination and atmospheric encounters with nature. Draw/erase. Paint/scrape. A ghost remains. With these traces I move the work toward the bilateral link between what I can see and what I can imagine. I translate both surface and subterranean geography to canvas and paper. The macrocosm and microcosm belong together. This combination casts the familiar in a new light.
