Gorgeous Gorge - Bill Alexander

I am back with a new oil painting :)
I did my last one in October. Currently we have very cold temperatures, thus I will only try to paint scenes that can be finished very fast. This one is from Bill‘s yellow, red and blue series. Means it just uses those colors and black as well as white. It took me about 80 minutes as I felt a bit rusty after so long time without oils. As I paint outside in an unheated garage, my fingers got a bit stiff after an hour but it was still ok.

Hey Tom, nice to see something new from you. I can imagine that it was freezing just before the finger, in the cold garage. A very successful representation of Bill's painting👍🏼🇩🇪

Thanks Dirk, I tried my best after so long time. Unfortunately the photo is not the best as I see now. It had 3 degrees Celsius on Friday when I painted this :)

I love it! Great work as always.

Thank you so much Jin, I am glad you like it!

Good one, Tom.
Great clouds and I very much like the colours.
Orange + blue is a good combo imho.

Thanks Titia, definitely one of the best color combinations, I agree. I also like Yellow and purple combination as well.

Gorgeous Tom!

Thanks Jos, I guess some episode which might be interesting for you too?

Great job and really nice colors!

Thanks Sandy. Only yellow, red and blue have been used besides black and white.

Nice job. Tough conditions to paint in. You managed well though.

Thanks Tomi, you are right, the conditions are tough. But waiting till spring for new oil paintings is very long for me.

Such a lovely and powerful sky Tom!

Thank you Sunnylady, glad you like it.

The contrasts are amazing. Love the sky. Nice one Tom! 😊

Very nice. I have never seen this series.

Thank you Nancy, I like paintings with strong dark /light contrasts, that is one of my favorite topics as well as complementary colors. This paintings has it both.

Thank you Cold. It is not mentioned explicitly at Bills YouTube Channel. But there are some episodes available like 'Terra Incognita' or 'The Sun rises at blue lake' which use only these colors. I guess if you search those on his home page if available then there it is mentioned.

Thanks Tom, I will look.

You are welcome. E.g. it is mentioned here https://alexanderart.com/portfolio/gorgeous-gorge/

Super and love the orange and blue together!

Thanks Brian!
