In art school during the 1960s, George Rodrigue worked diligently to acquire the skill set required to render the human figure in art. He notably spent a winter break at his California art school instead of returning home to Louisiana to focus on improving his figure drawing. That extra time paid off; throughout his career, Rodrigue included classical nude figures in his work. Sitting Alone<\/em> is one such example from earlier in Rodrigue\u2019s career when he mainly painted portraits and landscapes. This painting features the dark oak tree that Rodrigue would become known for. The darkness of the landscape is balanced by the figure, the white cloth draped over the chair she sits on, and the blue and white light in the distance behind the oak tree.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
