Sunburst by Alfred Currier

Oil on canvas — impasto. Currier stacks the Skagit Valley landscape into horizontal bands: cadmium yellow-orange sky, chrome yellow and burnt sienna fields, a vivid red-orange stripe, teal-green foreground with red poppies, dark ultramarine mountains, cypress trees on the horizon. The light source is implied by the yellow band — felt through chromatic logic, not depicted. Currier at his most formally organized. Oil on canvas. $5,900. International shipping available.
