About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Lisa Elley displays an impression of a breezy coastal seascape on a beautiful summer's day. She draws inspiration from one of her plein air painting trips to the coastal town of Monterey in California. "The view across the bay is a majestic vista, with clear pacific waters and mighty cypress trees," describes Lisa. She paints the elegant piece with rich impasto using palette knives.
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."

Artist Sherri Aldawood paints a fleet of wooden boats docking by a harbor. She aptly plays with depth in limited painterly strokes. Sherri brings more detail to the foreground for a clearer focus and gauges the distance affected by the atmosphere and sunlight. The maritime seascape, painted in dark blue exudes both a composed and easygoing ambience.
About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.
