In this painting, as with those early landscapes, Rodrigue divides his canvas into three core elements: the oak tree, the ground, and the sky. Here, he pays special attention to the oak tree, which is rendered in a painterly, almost impressionistic style to emphasize the moss on the tree. Though Rodrigue\u2019s early landscapes were known for their use of dark colors, in <em>Spanish Moss<\/em>, he strikes a delicate balance between the light and dark elements, resulting in a work that depicts the subtle stylistic shifts legible in the work of an artist who maintains a commitment to a particular subject matter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish Moss 1995 by George Rodrigue Signed by the artist Oil on linen 8 3\/4 x 10 3\/4 inches Contact gallery for pricing.\u00a0 Availability subject to change without notice.
