ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I hike with my dog on a trail in a Nature Conservancy in the Hudson Valley of Upstate New York. We walk around a large pond. The pond is wild with vegetation as well as insect, bird and wildlife. 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 of more than 20 paintings. They are based on an observation or memory. I'm capturing a sensation of color, light, texture and reflection as well as mood. The painting Pond Rhapsodie is from an autumn day. There are still insects busily creating texture on the surface of the pond as well as vegetation changing color with the season. 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. The surface is created with oils, charcoal, graphite, stable, and oil stick.

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.
