About the Artist and His Work
ART EDUCATION: Minneapolis College of Art and Design The Atelier (Minneapolis) Art Students League of Denver.
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas
SUBJECT MATTER: Harbors, Boats and water-reflections Rural/Mediterranean Landscapes Urban Landscapes
DESCRIPTION: Rodgers works in an “alla prima” manner, beginning with a warm-tone underpainting and completing a painting in one session when possible. This method, since it involves painting directly into wet paint, allows great flexibility in mixing colors and attaining soft edges, and fosters a fresh, spontaneous approach to painting. Rodgers takes a strong interest in the effects of light and shadow, and is intrigued by the interplay between the landscape and its human inhabitants.
