The pilot episode introduces us to the 19th Century landscape painter Thomas Cole who founded the first American art movement (the Hudson River School of painting) when he sailed up the Hudson River to Catskill, NY. His influence can be felt today in the works of Illustrator and children's book author Hudson Talbott, as well as the renowned painter Stephen Hannock. It's hard to imagine HUDSY not thriving with work like this being done... Saving these rivers is an ongoing thing. And top-level documentaries such as this are an important tool in keeping that effort alive. Congratulations and best wishes to you all - Stephen Hannock, American Painter featured in Water is Life.
