Southern Painter: Alabama Skies

Alabama Skies

It was cows that attracted me to this place - on a county road not far from home. In the end it was just about color and shapes and shadows. This is the time of year when all the humidity makes skies sort of green. I'll just do another one with the cows deep in the tall grass.

Alabama Skies, 12x16, oil, framed in medium gold. $525 RobinRoberts

MMMMM ... it looks so beautiful and quiet, nothing to hear but the insects buzzing. What a wonderful painting, Robin. And I look forward to the cows in the long grass.

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
