This painting was created in New Hampshire at Mount Washington Auto Road. It was painted during the Hudson River Fellowship, which was a three week painting session this summer where 20 artists came together to share inspiration and ideas around plein air landscape painting in the tradition of the Hudson River Painters of the 18th and 19th century.

”I painted this landscape en plein air. I had to capture and invent the cumulus clouds as they quickly floated by. Mount Washington is one of the windiest places on earth, and a constant cloud factory. This view isn’t of Mount Washington directly, but of the hills surrounding it. One of my strongest memories of painting in New Hampshire in July is the endless variety of insects, large and small, many of them biting.” -Sarah
