About the Item
Artist Comments
"This painting was inspired by the dreamy vistas of the Monterey Bay in California," shares artist Lisa Elley. "Just as the morning light caressed the popular area of the Manresa Beach, near the town of Santa Cruz." With the use of her signature thick impasto palette knife work, Lisa captures the peaceful scene en plein air. Thick bushes with abundant lavender blooms open as an invitation to calming blue crashing waters.
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."
