About the Item
Artist Comments
Red hot poker flowers dance along the Big Sur coast in California, with the famous Bixby Bridge seen in the distance. Artist Lisa Elley says she is greatly inspired by Monet's work, quoting the famed Impressionist, "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." In the tradition of the Impressionists, she layered rich oil paint, adding her own "deep impasto" technique. The paint is applied in thick strokes, creating a very sculptural effect.
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."
