Signature(s) of Ronald Lee Oliver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The coup de grace…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The finishing flourish for any oil painting is the artist’s signature.<\/p>\n

I use two signatures to finish\u00a0my pieces.<\/p>\n

I sign my paintings with my last name, “Oliver,” or with my initials, “RLO.” I use the latter when it fits better than the larger, “Oliver” signature.<\/p>\n

The signatures above are a montage from various studio and plein air works. The simple lines of my signature indicate and compliment the style of painting conveyed in the works. The brush strokes remain as applied, informing the viewer by impression, rather than tightly rendered or controlled imagery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
