This romantic suite boasts a beautiful four-poster bed, a private sitting room with 11 ft ceilings, 10 ft. pocket doors, antique furniture, as well as a private, en-suite bath with subway tile shower and tub. The Wiltwyck is located across the street from the Senate House Park and the Senate Garage, a popular wedding destination. No car needed to explore NY's first capital, we are 1-3 blocks from coffee shops, restaurants, boutique shopping, antiquing, museums, and more. The space Come stay in our National Historic Register Home in the Stockade District of Uptown Kingston, steps from all the shops and restaurants. You will enjoy a restful night sleep on a new queen mattress with new pillows, 100% cotton sheets, and down comforter. Curl up with a book near the bay window in your private sitting room, or enjoy a tete a tete with your loved one. This room is also graced with an impressive painting by Kevin Paulsen, which is also for sale. Paulsen is an American artist born in Missouri, but living in Kingston. He has a devoted international following and an extensive exhibition history. He has distinguished himself as an artist whose vision is paradoxically naïve looking yet deeply informed by art history and well established in the canon of contemporary art. Paulsen’s artwork is singular in the narrative it presents. He portrays civilization, half-mythical, half historical, depicting nature and man in primordial and sometimes precarious harmony. The artist conjures a utopia in which man and beast frolic, harvest, dance, and work, in blissful co-existence. The viewer senses that the balance of the theatrical scene is momentary and could be upended by dark forces. Paulsen’s paintings and drawings are direct and earnest; we feel his urgency to capture the subject and record it before his fantastical vision dances away. The artist as a shamanistic puppeteer is felt strongly in each narrative he creates. Stylistically, Paulsen’s painting evokes a vernacular style that recalls the tradition of Early American folk muralists and pays homage to man’s predilection for storytelling, illustration, and decoration. Paulsen’s paintings appear to be made as a fresco, with uneven edges, (actually polystyrene topped with a thin veneer of pigmented plaster) floating within the frame. Cracks and fissures and areas of intentional distress are intrinsic to the surface and introduce a quality of unpredictability and allude to the passage of time. Paulsen’s work has been showcased in the Fifth Avenue windows and in the galleries of Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, Chronogram Magazine, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, and Architectural Digest, to name a few. His murals can be seen in restaurants across the country and his work is in over 80 private collections in the US, England, France, and Germany.
