About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley depicts a grove of aspen trees in Yosemite National Park. The lush forest flourishes in its autumnal colors. Lisa's signature palette knife application resonates with glowing gold impasto. Lashings of texture sit on top of layers of blue sky and silver trunks to create a visual feast.
About the Artist
Working almost exclusively with a palette knife, Lisa Elley maneuvers her artistic blade with an uncanny fluidity. Why paint only with the knife? She says, "when I paint with a brush, which I do occasionally, I tend to focus on the detail. With a palette knife I can't focus on the detail too much, so my paintings are looser, and more gestural, with bigger sweeps and strokes." This technique is called wet-on-wet. And it seems to be quite popular, as she has been bestowed the title "Knife Queen" by her facebook fans. Fun fact: Lisa's high school art teacher told her to study harder at math, as a career in art was "impossible."
