Tribute to Ralph Meyer
Oil on Wood (38" X 24")

Ralph Meyer wrote "The Artists' Handbook,” which has been of invaluable assistance to the artist as it contains many useful formulas for paints, varnishes, grounds, etc. The explanations and procedures of applying oil paint in glazes was of great value — this technique allows for luminous, subtle color with many shades of tone. Since the light reflects through the paint and then bounces back off the ground, it has the depth and richness of a stained glass window. The artist painted this picture as a tribute to Ralph Meyer's expertise.
