Lockwood De Forest- Hudson River School Painter



Lockwood DeForest is a Hudson River School Painter that is not very well known. Although he studied with Frederick Church, he later moved to California and became a craft importer. He continued to paint small landscapes as a hobby. The family did not release his paintings for public viewing until recently. See above " Fiery Moon" an oil painting . Although he painted it in the 1800's, it looks very contemporary. Above it, it you will see my illustrator exercise based on the colors and flow of his painting. As you can see, although experimenting madly- I am not mastering digital yet. I may reinstall illustrator. I can't seem to get the hang of it. I am fine and then it doesn't seem to work .
May have a glitch or two.
