Lisa Elley
Escape To The Vineyard, Abstract Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley depicts a classic vineyard in warm fiery tones. It features the rolling hills of the Napa Valley in Northern California during the fall season. She renders this piece entirely with skillful sweeps and strokes of her palette knife in a colorful autumnal palette in her signature thick impasto style. "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous," quotes Lisa of the Greek philosopher, Aristotle.


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."
