Louis Bellon
Louis Bellon was a pupil of Antoine Chartres. He studied at the National School of Fine Arts of Lyon. His art was deeply influenced from a multitude of sources — André Lhote, the Neo-Impressionism of Georges-Pierre Seurat, the young artists of Les Nabis, the intimism of Pierre Bonnard, the delicate art of Paul Cézanne, the Cubism of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, the exciting colors of Henri Matisse, the Orphism (so named by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire) of Robert and Sonia Delaunay. In 1938, Bellon was elected a member of the Salon of the South-East, one of the most prestigious arts organizations of Lyon, where many important contemporary artists exhibited. It was there that Bellon met the Nabis painter Paul Sérusier, allied himself with the Cubist Albert Gleizes, and discovered in the work of Paul Klee, an artistic inspiration similar to his art. Bellon's works are exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Lyon and in numerous private collections.

Artist Comments
Inspired by the lush vineyards of France in the fall, artist Lisa Elley paints an impression of the scene. Light caresses the quaint village during the breathtaking summer. The vineyard flourishes in the foreground, creating a dramatic and colorful effect. She achieves a rich, buttery texture through thick impasto application.
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."
