Lisa Elley
Champaigne Wishes, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley displays the entryway of a welcoming building inspired by the architecture of quaint villages in Italy. The light accentuates the rustic stone walls and shutters, and the flowerpots in the foreground create a dramatic and highly textured visual effect. She paints the piece entirely with a palette knife for the rich impasto. The rich buttery surface creates beautiful movement and flow.


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."

  • Sunny Day, Street in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
    By Suren Nersisyan
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    The painting is a result of my impressions from traveling in Mexico. Old, colorful, dramatic looking houses under the bright sun look dynamic and full of life energy.

    About the Artist
    Suren is an impressionist painter eloquently capturing nature, landscapes, and cityscapes in paint. His body of work reflects several different stylistic approaches. Suren’s scenes in oil are inspired by Impressionist masters Monet and Van Gogh, while his watercolor series of flowers and birds are influenced by Eastern styles of painting and the colors of the Middle Eastern environment. Suren believes his role as an artist is to remind viewers that we all are part of the same natural universe.
