Rest Stop by Alfred Currier

Oil on canvas — impasto. Three tall cypress trees in cadmium orange and burnt sienna anchor the right side; a prussian blue water feature cuts the foreground; white flowers in thick impasto below; loose white birds in a cerulean sky above. The palette is warm against cool — Currier's technique: color temperature rather than value builds spatial depth. Among his most formally resolved travel paintings. Oil on canvas. $6,900.
