A woman starts at the head of the Hudson River in her canoe for the long journey all the way to her family in New York City.
I love Cooper’s lush drawings – they are evocative and iconic. Any of them would make an art gallery worthy painting. This time, however, Cooper seems so enamored of the topic that the details of the journey weighs down the story.
