About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley depicts an exquisite view of the route from San Francisco to Monterey Bay. She paints en plein air directly on the iconic Carmel Beach. Lisa captures the serendipitously blooming lupins with pallet knives, applying thick paint in impasto for rich texture. The luminous white sand of Carmel Beach, Pacific aquamarine blues, and purple blooms make a beautiful coastal color palette.
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."
