About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley created this glowing impressionist scene after a fall trip to the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains and Yosemite National Park. "The quaking aspens were ablaze with vibrant color," says Lisa. Part of her series using a "deep impasto" technique. The paint is applied in thick strokes, creating a very sculptural effect. In some areas, the paint is over half an inch thick.
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."
