David Thelen
Lost and Found, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
In this painting, artist David Thelen portrays an abandoned equipment he came across in the woods. "I was captivated by the colors and silhouette of the machine," says David. Moss covers the sharp razor blades as rich foliage envelops the under-canopy, a vivid testament to the fertile nature.


About the Artist
Artist David Thelen was born in Western New York and has been living and working in the Finger Lakes region of the area. His strong family ties to the Catskill area give him a broader perspective on his home. It comes as no surprise that his artwork reflects the daily life and landscapes he sees at home and through his travels across the state. David’s signature approach to the artwork is to paint the canvas solid black, and he paints in the negative space around the darkened areas. He creates his main subject by painting the space around it rather than painting the subject itself. David lives in an old farmhouse that he is slowly renovating one room at a time, so most of his time is shared between painting, renovating, and maintaining.

    Artist Comments
    Artist Lisa Elley captures the vibrant beauty of the South San Francisco Bay through the mesmerizing allure of California poppies. Painted en plein air, the piece reflects the enchanting scene of a sun-kissed meadow. A kaleidoscope of flowers dances in the gentle breeze. She paints with thick impasto to depict the extraordinarily rich flora.


    About the Artist
    Artist Lisa Elley produces sweeping impressionist views and rich geographies with lush textures. Growing up on a little farm in New Zealand surrounded by rolling green, she became greatly influenced by her surroundings. This instilled a remarkable ingenuity in her leading her to pursue a fine arts degree at the University of Auckland. Passionate about experiencing new things, she moved to London, New York, Florida, and ultimately the San Francisco Bay Area, where she now resides. She works at her studio inside an old cannery in San Jose with perfect natural light, 30-foot ceilings, and infinite possibilities. She cultivates her skillful command with a palette that allows her to maneuver her artistic blade with fluidity. “I am drawn to them over brushes as they create an amazing sense of movement with the beautiful texture they evoke,” shares Lisa. An award-winning artist, her works have been represented by galleries all over the globe and have also been featured in distinguished publications. Lisa savors the quality time she spends with her family during her free time.
