🎨 “The Alizarin Sky” by Steve Ross
A rare sky of warm hues, captured by Steve Ross during a pivotal moment. Painted in 2019, The Alizarin Sky was one of only six paintings Steve created while preparing for his very first comeback class that year. With its glowing tones of alizarin crimson and soft transitions between earth and atmosphere, this piece radiates quiet drama and painterly elegance — a sky that’s both classic and deeply personal.
🌟 Artist connection & collector’s note: This painting was purchased directly from Steve Ross. At the time, I offered to share a portion of any future sale with him. He kindly declined and said, “Absolutely not.” If it does sell, I’ll offer again — and hope he takes it.
🎨 And yes — there’s a painter’s joke about the alizarin. If you buy it, I’ll let you in on the secret. sky made famous by Steve Ross, class after class, Steve would pull out the grand pink and make the sky warm and inviting.
💬 About the Pricing:
This painting is intentionally priced high — not as a direct reflection of its art market value, but because it’s a piece I deeply love and hope to keep in my collection. That said, if someone truly values it enough to meet that price… well, I’d be a fool not to listen.
