Here ya go:

My favorite of the Hudson River School is probably Asher Durand, I love his charcoal sketches the best, he was a man who could take a quick impression. Here's a self-portrait:

Here are Mr. Durand and Mr. Cole on a promontory, in a self-portrait-with-landscape titled "Kindred Spirits":

Here is a lovely painting of Niagara by Albert Bierstadt, another of the HRS, although sometimes considered a member of the "Rocky Mountain School".

Another Durand, just because I like him:

Many thanks, M'am.

For some unknown reason, I really love great landscapes.

If you like Durand's Niagra you should see Fredrick Church's painting of the view of the Canadian Side.

If ya'll like this type of picture, you should take a look at Kincaid pictures. I think some of the larger malls have his galleries. He specializes in pictures with unual lighting. When you go into his galleries, they have it lighted to get the full effect of the picture; but what I love is the casual seating throughout the gallery, making it comfortable to take the time to sit and stare at the paintings. It's a lovely reprieve from the world.

His pictures just seem to be alive. My very favorite is a painting of the steep and narrow road which curves down a hill in San Francisco - the scene is at the top of the hill, with a breathtaking view of the skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge - I just can hardly take my eyes off it.
