About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley paints a sweeping view of an impressionist seascape in bright and summery colors. She paints this charming coastal piece en plein air at Davenport Beach in California. "The view through the wildflowers and over the bluffs to the Pacific Ocean never disappoints," says Lisa. Her version of a colorful and textured piece brings the beautiful scene to life.
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."
