"Bygone"

"Bygone" - Oil - 12" x 16"


"Almost yearly, I paint with other members of Alla Prima International, a group of professional artists and friends who have known each other since the early 80's. A couple of years ago, we met in Cambria, California, for two weeks and painted the coast. One of our members is from Paso Robles and guided us to vineyards and wineries in the area. This one had an old truck, reduced to a skeleton and listing, in its workyard that gave character to the buildings and old silo." --- SFG


NOTE TO ARTISTS: White buildings aren't just white. You can see in this painting the warmth of the sun and the reflected light on the shadow side. Note that the shadow under the eve and the top of the shadowed wall is warmer because of the reflected light bouncing off the ground. Fun to paint!

YOU ARE INVITED...

My latest work is now showing at Art & Soul Gallery, Ashland, Oregon, from now through May 1. The show is titled "Alla Prima Landscapes". Here is one of the pieces, and I will be posting others in the next few days.

"Farm Barn" 30" x 24" Oil on Canvas

"This is a larger version of one of the other paintings in the show. I decided to do a vertical composition for a stronger dramatic effect. The smaller painting, "Hohenberger Farm", was done plein air, whereas this one is a studio work." --- SFG
