Charles Hodges landscapes focus on towering cumulus clouds that commandeer two-thirds of the composition that tower above the horizon like majestic sentinels over understated panoramic fields and waterways, this deliberate imbalance emphasizes the sublime power of skyward expanse, evoking awe and introspection. Mr. Hodges employs glazing techniques with translucent layers of cadmium white, ultramarine and subtle earth tones to achieve a radiant, backlit luminosity in the clouds that appear to pulse with an inner light illuminated from an unseen sun. Using wet on wet blending for soft edges to create depth, Mr. Hodges allows the clouds' scale to overwhelm the viewer, mirroring the humbling vastness of real skies.
