Note :
Hugh Bolton Jones remains among my favorite painters. Jones is
often classified with the Hudson River School of painters. However
his works – this painting in particular – have a wonderful
luminescence of color that goes beyond most of the works of the
school, moving into the higher key and clearer hue of the
Impressionists, yet retaining the exactness of the scene he
depicted, sometimes with single hair brushes. His ability to depict
dead branches and foliage with integrity, yet beauty, has
continually fascinated me. In looking at such fall or early spring
scenes, I often see his work in my head.

Comments:
A popular painter of
bucolic landscapes, Jones enjoyed an extraordinary 60-year
exhibition record at the National Academy.
Most of his landscapes
were painted in the Northeast, but he also traveled widely, painting
as far South as Maryland and West Virginia, and in the summer of
1874 he was in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
From 1876-80, he was in
France, studying in Paris and painting at the artists colony at
Pont-Aven, Brittany.
His brother was Francis Coates Jones. Also
appears as H. Jones Bolton.

Olive Parker Black was a student of Hugh Bolton
Jones at the Art Students League.
Her two
paintings above are very reminiscent of his work, particularly in the use of
small brushes for foliage,
and the transformation of dead branches and reeds
to beautiful lacy surfaces.
