You may not be aware but the Hudson Valley has been officially on United State postage stamps and you can actually still buy the series online. In August of 2014, the United States Postal Service (USPS) unveiled the Hudson River School Stamps.
The Hudson River School is a romanticized style of painting the grew in popularity in during the 1800 s. Locally, Thomas Cole and Frederic Church are well-known artists who painted in this style. The Hudson Valley is still rich with modern-day artists who continue to paint in this Hudson Valley tradition.
Kevin Cook, an artist who lives and has his studio at Huguenot Street in New Paltz, is one of the locally collected artists that still paints in this traditional style that focuses on landscapes and the dramatic light found in the Catskills and the Hudson Valley. Kevin s work along with other Hudson River School style painters can still be seen and collected at galleries in Rhinebeck, Beacon, Hudson and New Paltz.
