When I was at the Heard Museum last Saturday, I took another look at the exhibit called Kay WalkingStick/Hudson River School. I wrote about it on January 24th. WalkingStick is a Cherokee artist who paints natural scenes combined with abstract and Native American symbols and she paints canvases that compliment each other like the two above. The paintings above are called "Late Summer on the Ramapo".
This one is called "July Low Water". It has such a summer look to it like what you would see standing on the edge of a pond or stream.
This one is called "Aquidneck Cliffs" and is her painting of the cliffs on Aquidneck Island.
I'm glad I took another look at this exhibit. Along with the beauty of the paintings, I learned about places in the east that I had not heard of before.

I really like her style.
Amazing work. I want to try paintings on two canvases.
What wonderful art.
I like her work too, Sharon.
I googled Kay WalkingStick and right now her art is at the Heard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney in NYC, and the Smithsonian in DC. She focuses on the landscape and its significances to everyone, not just Native Americans.
Nice paintings indeed. I like her work, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful painting. I like the bold colors!
Beautiful! I had to look up the Ramapo, because I recognized the name but I couldn't remember where it was. It's part of the Passaic River basin in New York/New Jersey.
