\"preperatory-sketch\"Preparatory Sketch of Louisiana Oak Tree
\n<\/i><\/span>2001 by George Rodrigue
\n<\/span>24×30 inches
\n<\/span>Acrylic on linen<\/span><\/p>\n

In this loose sketch, painted during a lecture\u00a0<\/span>before a Houston, Texas audience on March <\/span>1, 2001, Rodrigue explains the simple\u00a0<\/span>elements that are the basis for his painting.\u00a0<\/span>Using one of his typical landscape <\/span>compositions, he emphasizes three\u00a0<\/span>components, each of equal importance on <\/span>his canvas: tree, background, and\u00a0<\/span>foreground. He used these elements to <\/span>create infinite arrangements of shapes. This <\/span>was the reason, he explained, that his\u00a0<\/span>paintings, even as he repeated the same\u00a0<\/span>subjects hundreds of times, remained varied <\/span>and interesting to the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: The number \u201c3\u201d, which should indicate\u00a0<\/i><\/span>the foreground, is trapped instead inside the <\/i><\/span>oak. After returning to his easel, Rodrigue extended the trunk of the <\/i><\/span>tree so that it better filled the space, creating\u00a0<\/i><\/span>a new bottom line to the oak\u2019s shape, and <\/i><\/span>covering part of the original foreground <\/i><\/span>space.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
