Forest Oil Painting

Louise M. Kamp (1867-1959) left a legacy of paintings which document the prominent countryside and unique radiance of the Catskills Mountains and Hudson River; waterways and winding roads around the countryside of Saugerties, Woodstock, Kingston and Palenville. "I am happy when I paint clouds." she wrote.

She captured, in her quick oil sketches, fleeting moments of local atmosphere. Kamp's paintings record the importance of bygone waterfront commerce and landscapes in the Hudson Valley and northeast United States. The Woodstock School of Art Exhibition acknowledges the talent, energy and perseverance of this remarkable woman.
