I came across Al Gury's book by chance one day as I was browsing "alla prima painting" on the internet.  

It seemed like a wonderful book to have and once I received it in the mail I was even more surprised to see that the images and explanations were genuinely informative and beautiful.



I really enjoyed the step by step images along with the color palettes of famous direct painters. This is one of those books that you'll never get tired of looking at. 

Whether you're a seasoned painter or simply appreciate painting, this book helps you to further understand the complex process of developing an alla prima painting.

Each friday I'll be posting a favorite artist and will ask you to "caption" the work.  

This week's artist is Paula Moderson Becker.  I first learned about this painter while taking a "Women Artists" Art History class for my BFA at Cal State Fullerton in California. 

Paula Modersohn-Becker (February 8, 1876 – November 21, 1907) was a German painter and one of the most important representatives of early expressionism. In a brief career, cut short by an embolism at the age of 31, she created a number of groundbreaking images of great intensity. She is becoming recognized as the first female painter to paint female nudes. Using bold forays into subject matter and chromatic color choices, she and fellow-artists Picasso and Matisse introduced the world to modernism at the start of the twentieth century.(from Wikipedia)

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
