Yellow Sail on Patriot Lake, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Billowing clouds float above an impressionistic lake. The yellow sail of a lone boat reflects on the choppy water, capturing the interplay of light and texture. The mostly cool palette with touches of warm yellows infuses the scene with fond recollections of summer days.

About the Artist
Growing up in California and Colorado, Elizabeth spent much of her formative years outdoors. “Exposure to nature early on planted the seed of landscape painting in me,” she says. She enjoyed spending time on her grandfather’s sunny sheep ranch and going to the beach with her grandmother. Her grandmother also would bring her to art galleries in Laguna Beach, where she was first introduced to California Impressionism. Today, Elizabeth lives in Tennessee and enjoys painting both outdoors and in her studio, a detached garage at her home. She has a keen interest in working with color and capturing the effects of light.
