Provenance: West Wind Fine Art, Coeur d’Alene, ID The McCloy Collection, Norman, OK Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, Reno, NV, 2017 Private Collection, Texas Renowned around the world as an artist’s artist and respected as a teacher, Richard Schmid was a believer in the alla prima method—often called “wet on wet” or “direct painting,” which was Schmid’s preferred term—which meant to finish a painting in one sitting or a single session. The artist was beloved for his landcapes, nudes, portraits and, seen here with Summer Lilies, his floral paintings. The artist was famous for truly loving the act of putting paint to canvas. “I have been a painter for my entire adult life,” Schmid wrote in Alla Prima II: Everything I Know About Painting—and More. “In all of that time I have never been able to ignore the wonders possible in painting.”
