Birch Tree Palette Knife Painting Postcard

Birch Tree Palette Knife Painting by Award Winning San Francisco Bay Artist Lisa Elley. T I T L E: Colorado Fall Birch Trees (#475) by Lisa Elley Y E A R: 2015 I N S P I R E D*B Y: A trip to Colorado was an amazing source of inspiration for my colorful palette knife birch trees. Birches take me back to my childhood. They are so unique with that silvery trunk and random black patches. Here is a beautiful palette knife painting with a red and blue palette, free easel is included. It's a small study for a larger piece. S I Z E: 8 X 10 X ¾ Inches. M A T E R I A L S: Artist quality oil paints, Gallery Wrapped, Back Stapled Canvas. Sides are painted with continued colors, no frame required. *Artist retains the rights to digital and print reproduction. M Y B A C K G R O U N D: All my paintings are oil on canvas, using mainly palette & painting knives, with thick application, bold strokes, painterly detail and rich colors. The palette knife gives my art a unique combination of contrast, fluidity, depth, texture and impact. I do not typically use a brush, as I prefer the way I can mix buttery paints and smear them on my canvas with a flexible metal blade. The amazing thick texture achieved with the knife reflects the light more than a regular brush painting and gives a beautiful sense of movement, with subtle highlights. I am originally from New Zealand, where the beauty of nature is unsurpassed.The luminescent beauty of our amazing world inspires me, and I feel it in every stroke. I try to reflect this in my work and invite you to enjoy it as I do.
