Esopus Creek watercolor's: Below are two Esopus Creek watercolor landscapes that were recently painted again, per request.
The first is the Trestle, U&D C30, a historic railroad crossing once located only a couple hundred yards upriver of the legendary Chimney Hole on Esopus Creek. Originally done as an oil painting, then done again as a watercolor, both times donated to Trout Unlimited as fund raisers. Once again it was redone, upon request, and donated as a Trout Unlimited fund raiser item one more time. Though not in use for decades, this landmark stood over the Esopus Creek for a hundred years before being completly destroyed by Hurricane Irene. Now in its place stands the Ashokan Rail Trail footbridge.

"Shandaken" below was originally painted as a 48" x 32" acrylic, placed in front of Christ's Lutheran Church in Woodstock, NY. Shandaken is a Native American word that means "rapid water", while oddly enough the Town of Shandaken was originally a portion of Woodstock. This Esopus Creek landscape was redone as a watercolor, upon request.
