Kingston Riverbend Twilight

Posted on March 5, 2026

The quiet majesty of the Kingston Point rail trail at dusk. The painting is defined by the use of contrasting color temperatures. Icy, deep blues and purples of the snow-lined foreground push against the fiery amber, crimson, and golden light of the setting sun. From a favorite walk along the Hudson River where the tracks cross a body of water on a narrow isthmus, giving water views on both sides and the trail a feeling of passage making.

Converging lines of the old railway tracks draw the viewer’s eye directly into the glowing horizon. The piece serves as a meditation on the passage of time, both in the fleeting nature of sunsets and the transformation of the region’s industrial past into a corridor of natural, enduring beauty.
