Description
The winter's ice cone at the Kaaterskill Falls reaches over eigthy feet high. The falls have been a classic motif for the Hudson River School artists of the 19th Century and right through to our present time. This view from the north side is most remembered from Winslow Homer's work 'Under the Falls' but the most revered depiction of the Kaaterskill still falls to Thomas Cole whose original painting, from his first visit, unleased the romantic spirit that feed the Hudson River School of American Landscape Painters and established America's First Art movement. And he did it from Palenville NY which later would come to be known as America's First Artist Colony.

Very nice! And very cold.
Terrance DePietro replied:
Very cold Richard...But beautiful. Beautiful enough for William Cullen Bryant to have written a poem, about the appearance of the cone in the moonlight when the cold is flying all about! Thank you, - tdp
