36” x 24” acrylic on canvas

I love painting yellow skies because they signify hope and optimism. It’s not how the world looks, obviously, but it’s how I want it to look. The yellow pigment used is Naples yellow, a soft, buttery yellow that was a favorite of Georgia O’Keeffe. The purple path leads us forward into an optimistic future. I used a red violet underpainting that I left visible around the trees and major landscape forms - this technique creates intensified color vibrations and unifies the painting. This colorful, contemporary landscape will definitely make your home happy!!
