Hudson Valley Landscape Paintings
By Warren Hurley

    I used to paint in a surreal, abstract style. My work was inspired by a very short list of subjects that had to appear in every painting - cows and glasses of water. For the past five years, I have been working on local landscapes.

    Recently, I have been working on still lives. My subject matter has been a few pieces of fruit in a simple composition. And, now, a still life with a bunch of flowers in a glass vase has brought me back to one of my favorite subject, water seen through a glass container.

    The painting at right measures 16 X 20 inches and can be seen in an exhibit titled Hearts and Flowers at ASK - The Arts Society of Kingston.
