About the Item

This contemporary abstract landscape painting by Ken Elliott is made with oil paint on canvas. It features a cool violet-blue palette, capturing an abstracted scene of a forest in the winter. The trees are depicted in shades of deep blue, with a snowy white forest floor. The painting is framed in a floater frame with gold face and walnut sides. The painting itself is 40" x 50" and measures 41.75" x 51.75" x 2.25" framed. The painting is signed by the artist in the lower left-hand corner of the painting, and is wired and ready to hang. Of this painting, the artist says, ""This predominately blue and purple forest came from the idea to set up a simple composition, the line of trees, and then to use the effects of color and light to create a view into the depth of that forest. "As it turns out, it was quite the challenge but I love working with color and it provided me with more than enough patience to bring this oil to completion… three times. It was the depth that kept calling me back to the 'finished' oil. I could see new improvements to make each time by changing the trunks and foliage and finally, the addition of the pinks at the top and a bit more green to the top left. "I enjoy the complexity of the trees and the play of light there, how the soft light in the sky burns out and softens the foliage at the top, and the brighter, contrasting foreground. It came out better than I had planned!" Ken Elliott is an abstract landscape artist based in Colorado. With over 40 years in the art business, his knowledge spans well beyond the easel. Of his work, Elliott says, "My focus is the landscape and its rich store of ideas and inspiration. I am compelled to work from the trees, skies, lakes and streams in their endless variations. I don’t try to recreate nature (even Monet said he never got it right), or attempt storytelling. Instead, the works are simplifications and exaggerations of nature. There was a time when I felt the tyranny of the landscape. That is, I felt limited by making pictures of a place. Now, instead of making pictures, I am free to make paintings - art that comes from nature but is far more reliant on the strategies of making good art objects."
