This is a portion of the dozen or so oils in play currently.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">It is very important for me to have a lot of works going for a number of reasons. It allows for a variety of compositions and color to choose from and it keeps me from getting too bogged down or pressured to complete a particular work. I can stay busy and proceed at a leisurely pace, hopefully avoiding the temptation to overwork a canvas or to make shortcuts to hit a deadline.</p><p style="text-align: center;">There is another interesting side effect as well. Because there are so many options and opportunities available, each canvas is not too precious. Alterations are the norm going forward, these works require a number of changes and sometimes drastic ones for the best result. </p>Ken Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01594366927534919099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924060270253085368.post-37424371973666212002024-03-04T09:10:00.000-08:002024-03-04T09:12:51.468-08:00Quiet Evening, oil on panel, 24 x 24 inches<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW5UJEA5MvO51Vdh-MkbRAGPFlqIemBKlmJGNFFwTWj2l_MRxblsxlfKdxhnaK3VIgC3C8b-PH9YfS84GHKP52QxLncaH4TQDZcX37Yk16voNcUYLMALstxw-6kET5cqV-U0K0a2GJLnvFIlgEtgv6yZG6VJog-oc81VAaYGbHK_LgCKBwQ6yRxJVPOR6/s2320/Quiet%20Evening%20on%20wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="2320" height="579" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW5UJEA5MvO51Vdh-MkbRAGPFlqIemBKlmJGNFFwTWj2l_MRxblsxlfKdxhnaK3VIgC3C8b-PH9YfS84GHKP52QxLncaH4TQDZcX37Yk16voNcUYLMALstxw-6kET5cqV-U0K0a2GJLnvFIlgEtgv6yZG6VJog-oc81VAaYGbHK_LgCKBwQ6yRxJVPOR6/w640-h579/Quiet%20Evening%20on%20wall.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(47, 46, 46); color: #2f2e2e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;">Exhibiting: </span><u style="background: repeat; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(47, 46, 46); color: #2f2e2e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art</u><span style="caret-color: rgb(47, 46, 46); color: #2f2e2e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;">, Santa Fe, NM</span><p></p><p>2,450.00 framed</p><pre class="zddDMd" data-hook="description" style="background: repeat; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(47, 46, 46); color: #2f2e2e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-wrap: wrap; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><p style="background: repeat; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><pre class="zddDMd" data-hook="description" style="background: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-wrap: wrap; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;"><p style="background: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">About this oil:</p><p style="background: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">There are those moments when the color is just right, early morning or late evening, and it enhances the look of everything in the scene.

They are light and about a week apart, but in the shadows the snow lasts and it gives the landscape those softly glowing blues that influenced this painting.</p><p>My urge was to create a simple stand of trees, tall and elegant, emerging out of the blue shadows and this narrow canvas exaggerated the effect.</p><p>A number of different cool colors were used in the creation of this scene and as the forest was coming off the brush, a cold stillness was coming forth. It was a great effect but going for more, I added the bit of yellow at the top. That changed everything…</p><p>The yellows brought in more light, changed the time of day and allowed a new color, the pinks at the tree tops. Veils of cool blues flow up to the sunlit tree tops and an illusion of continual motion is created because the eye has more to see and continues to scan every part.</p><p>It was a wonder to watch it come to life.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEs6XBFMKWul65V3NN_0xYPFBVkLdfI3Aq73Z112IgUVEzN0TDRAwLo8EwN2UNRyeWQSj4ff4mwRJcIR76BQ1YpUnuTl-XjkLSoMMXGajZDygTqkLauY8Bd-zUkUbpcodt7wK0ZulWA04qjYnHepaai92DXO5iw5Ae5YpxvrWLqnALFPcEas3bpYKBfxzR/s1200/744006_fc4aacd45330466fbd3354a4a0144c5d~mv2.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEs6XBFMKWul65V3NN_0xYPFBVkLdfI3Aq73Z112IgUVEzN0TDRAwLo8EwN2UNRyeWQSj4ff4mwRJcIR76BQ1YpUnuTl-XjkLSoMMXGajZDygTqkLauY8Bd-zUkUbpcodt7wK0ZulWA04qjYnHepaai92DXO5iw5Ae5YpxvrWLqnALFPcEas3bpYKBfxzR/w634-h634/744006_fc4aacd45330466fbd3354a4a0144c5d~mv2.jpg.webp" width="634" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ken Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01594366927534919099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924060270253085368.post-32629903944830233962023-11-28T20:49:00.000-08:002023-11-28T20:49:17.388-08:00 New Work: Bright Stand, oil on canvas, 36 x 36 inches<p>In the studio, $5700 framed</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YhhjBb11ecLJ9RDUc-lZWNlkp-HANuyxwe4LX3OXaTAI9TnyV9c-2vK57fw4qiBXA_lsswiVkXDt7SVGK4V3fRsMRWoShL-nyPCDjq2r7gEj7pCSjYhCQAkgMDzcqAPypkxzcOPy4BLvOOF6JnAmPEGyaR6COe2KqlIGr-jo-0KBBgj-Lnm7vc7FPcqP/s2000/Bright%20Stand%20on%20wall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YhhjBb11ecLJ9RDUc-lZWNlkp-HANuyxwe4LX3OXaTAI9TnyV9c-2vK57fw4qiBXA_lsswiVkXDt7SVGK4V3fRsMRWoShL-nyPCDjq2r7gEj7pCSjYhCQAkgMDzcqAPypkxzcOPy4BLvOOF6JnAmPEGyaR6COe2KqlIGr-jo-0KBBgj-Lnm7vc7FPcqP/w470-h353/Bright%20Stand%20on%20wall.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br />About this oil:<p></p><p>This oil began as a demonstration in my recent art class. The idea was to create a colorful forest scene, but in an abstracted way. It began with this simple compositional idea and from there I filled the canvas with a wall of color and in the front, a cacophony of brush strokes.</p><p>There were a lot of puzzles to solve at that point, but working through the chaos, I pushed forward with color… a lot of color. By doing so, I was actually adding to the chaos but regardless, the oil was becoming much more expressive and interesting.</p><p>At the start, the background tree wall was created in blues and pale reds but it needed more, so I made all of it brighter, removed some of the foliage and then the composition began to drive the oil. The bright wall in the back encouraged brighter colors everywhere and I was happy go along.</p><p>The painting came to a nice conclusion, fulfilling what I had set out to do with an abundance of color and expressiveness.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I took my time and in the space of a month, a number of subtleties were added a bit at a time, adding interest and complexity.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;

white-space: normal;">I set out to do a painting with this palette in mind and after considering different landscapes, the idea of clouds was the most appealing choice and it offered the most flexibility.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;

line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">The oil was first laid out with tangerine and yellow and once the shapes were roughly in place, then the fun began. What colors are needed to make the tangerine and yellow more interesting? The best way to find out is by trying out various combinations.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">The exciting part is when something good and unexpected happens. Once that combination takes a spot on in the composition, it sends out a ripple, raising the bar across the canvas.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">There were a number of those surprises and it resulted in the addition of layered of blues and purples at the top of the piece. Not only did they provide a nice counterpoint to the warmer colors but they also indicated atmosphere, a big improvement to the piece and something I love to do.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">Creating paintings is a delightful experience, setting off on a creative journey to what often ends up being an unknown destination. If all goes well, someone will take it home and it begins another life, another journey.</p></pre></div>Ken Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01594366927534919099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924060270253085368.post-67067999768631788002023-03-18T06:55:00.008-07:002023-03-18T06:55:48.045-07:00February Newsletter 2023<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="templateContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px; color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; width: 600px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="templateHeader" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-top-width: 0px; min-width: 100%; width: 600px;"><tbody><tr><td class="headerContainer" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnDividerBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnDividerBlockOuter"></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px;" valign="top"><img align="left" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7760c47ff98a0bbd8dd332ed4/images/044569e0-7c0c-4bc5-ca49-b38acc7e6260.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; max-width: 600px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #606060; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-align: center;" valign="top"><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: teal;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">February News:</span></span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: teal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">"Painting is self-discovery.

One of the foundational discoveries I finally made was that nature is imperfect and in that way, it is absolutely perfect. That's encouraging.<br /><br />To that end, January has been a great month for painting almost every day and two 4 x 5 foot canvases were completed along with numerous starts. It's a joy and the studio is getting a bit crowded, but what a superb way to start the year. </span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnDividerBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

The first is the scale, the feeling of immersion in this forest. It is certainly the case when I’m creating a 5-foot scene of trees up close and it is all that I can see.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">Also, there isn’t a break in the spacing of the trunks. In this arrangement, there is a slight change in density but the overall effect is of being in the forest and surrounded in that calm without an obvious path through. Although, and I just saw this, you could follow the golden path to the right!</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">There is a great deal of depth set up by the green and orange bands on the forest floor that give way to the glowing yellow-green forest beyond. As the painting developed, I was almost a spectator as the forest continued to expand outward, eventually giving way to the bits of sky at the top.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">The colors are subtle, as this is a forest of many greens but the painting it is not really green. There are variations of blues and reds that are woven into the scene and they keep the green tones from shouting.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;

font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit;" />It was thoroughly enjoyable to start an oil of this size and to create an opportunity to push those reds across 5 feet of canvas. Those intense colors instantly dictated that the rest of the landscape would require brighter colors everywhere.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">As surreal as this scene is, the addition of green makes the scene somehow more acceptable and natural. As the rest of the colors are pushed, care was taken to keep them all in sync with the outrageous background. It was quite the puzzle, resulting in this painting being months in the making with a lot of downtime in between sessions before all of the solutions were found.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">There is one part of the oil that is not engaged as powerfully and that is the strip of sky at the top. As the painting developed, I kept looking beyond the bright hills and into that peaceful and normal part of the sky that was painted in at the beginning. I continued to keep those clouds as they were even as the other colors became stronger.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;

There are the broad, epic landscapes and those perfect compositions that artists will spend a lot of time searching for. I was among those searching for years and finally, I began to see more.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">That’s when I discovered wonderful compositions presenting themselves almost everywhere. The arrangements were always available but found in the smaller places.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">This is certainly not the epic landscape but it is a familiar one. This vignette of a forest contains endless possibilities of interpretation and as an artist, I took on the task to create something beyond nature, more striking and beautiful.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"> </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;">Much has been brought into play here with abundant and richer colors set off by the deep, delicate darks. All of the natural details are here, but slightly modified and heightened. The result is an artwork full of life and even in this small scale, a true sense of place.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVD4lfOA21Fgxq7_ADVqs6F7obgXfDOesoNmDSQSAI2kCfmxpPJxY56lVHShOh2nuEiO0YvviYGcTw_5MD63dWyd_688hpDw4yUjHEIMx20nQuqijEhVnvVytDvvFCGKXqfFWAMr1b1YW_29P3IBMuZWY2EjueeLYKgwCDx-KvJwoQ39IpVGMyHIfww/s2500/Ken%20Elliott%20Found%20Colors%20at%20the%20Snows%20Edge%20II%20oil%20on%20canvas%2048%20x%2060.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1994" data-original-width="2500" height="509" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVD4lfOA21Fgxq7_ADVqs6F7obgXfDOesoNmDSQSAI2kCfmxpPJxY56lVHShOh2nuEiO0YvviYGcTw_5MD63dWyd_688hpDw4yUjHEIMx20nQuqijEhVnvVytDvvFCGKXqfFWAMr1b1YW_29P3IBMuZWY2EjueeLYKgwCDx-KvJwoQ39IpVGMyHIfww/w640-h509/Ken%20Elliott%20Found%20Colors%20at%20the%20Snows%20Edge%20II%20oil%20on%20canvas%2048%20x%2060.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal;"><br /></p></pre></div>Ken Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01594366927534919099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924060270253085368.post-5740153140409625402023-01-02T10:23:00.006-08:002023-01-02T10:23:56.970-08:00In the Studio, January 1, 2022<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqJaUefyPDzJmTcZQhpM3HL3S4OYjlCuyTopqybwwdD3Q2_BqLoIMM26VfIPmRlYL_SayMrZUPX8PCNGl_At65mLo_oAZqzjL0O0s7KwWcwUJSiKulIo1popGTUFcFkqo6zniGb064wpFR0n3Jl3yTlCl3pSAXMI-pAozXsU33s1hl3EKmFSPLtIRUw/s4032/Ken%20Elliott%20in%20the%20studio%201-2-22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2737" data-original-width="4032" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqJaUefyPDzJmTcZQhpM3HL3S4OYjlCuyTopqybwwdD3Q2_BqLoIMM26VfIPmRlYL_SayMrZUPX8PCNGl_At65mLo_oAZqzjL0O0s7KwWcwUJSiKulIo1popGTUFcFkqo6zniGb064wpFR0n3Jl3yTlCl3pSAXMI-pAozXsU33s1hl3EKmFSPLtIRUw/w585-h397/Ken%20Elliott%20in%20the%20studio%201-2-22.jpg" width="585" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I wanted to record this small portion of works progressing in the studio today. There are a dozen others in play but this shot will bring back good memories in the future.</p><p>Every day is a new day in the studio and change is a constant. I start with an idea and as the painting develops, there are constant surprises and unexpected problems. Regardless, they are deviations from that original concept and adjustments are required. </p><p>Sometimes the appropriate change is a thoughtful tweak or something more dramatic, but it is the change that is constant. There is always something new that is needed to bring a painting to completion and I enjoy the challenge.</p><p>New starts will be made this week and those new canvases will shift the feel of the studio. At some point, all the canvases take on a life of their own. They are very demanding, with each one wanting to be brought to fulfillment and it’s is a joy, (sometimes grrrr) to be invited into the process.</p><p>Here’s a peek into one of my two studios. All of these canvases are well-along and will be completed soon, with the larger ones at 4 x 5 feet. I do like to see them temporarily sitting in the floater frames as shown here because it’s a good way to see the works differently and to better understand what else is needed.</p><p>Thank you for sharing this first day with me.</p><p>I wish you all a marvelous New Year full of joy and sweet fulfillment. There will be changes and I hope they are all in your favor.</p><div class="nLG8d5" data-hook="post-description" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 25px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;

As I was laying out the composition with dark blues, the painting began to point the way to an immersive experience, a scene from inside the forest, so I followed along.</div><div><br />Detail was kept to a minimum but the scene looks very complex. It’s primarily two colors, blues and greens, but this forest has a secret. Any dark passage or color other than the first two produces some enchanting effects and that is where the appearance of complexity comes from.</div><div> <br />This was a pleasure to explore and paint and as the oil neared completion, a title began to float into my head. It had been a long day and I was working late on this piece. I thought of all of the color combinations applied to this work as the day moved from afternoon to late evening. That's when it occurred that the time was being marked by the color changes, just as it occurs in nature. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzSeqSkIf91LaosV0XQ8ES9f8VLDzqESZ8mmCOV1HPmIpXdlRWvaAgx1K-ZsfcViJO_As4Fh5At-Pmpx6F3eTr2OdYSTXHYhp-GoXCayYKdOX0JCzCUvhWMSpsanzUZZv47bmSnXMGS5bQvI4gU54iCuSPCs9yriS_wiUoP0P4Qw4liU2-fMYmIwL8rw/s2500/Ken%20Elliott%20Time%20Passing%20as%20Color%2024%20x%2024%20panel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

You rekindled my love for making art. Your enthusiasm is contagious and felt throughout the room. You set up a stimulating environment that provided continuous visual images. Your generosity in sharing your own photos was much appreciated. I found you to be humorous, supportive and kind. I would recommend you as an instructor to anyone who would like to take their art to the next level."<br /><br /><br />"Yours was exactly the kind of workshop I had hoped it would be to give me the focus I needed. I can't thank you enough for coming all this way for such a small group...but I think you got the students who needed you the most!<br /><br /><br />"The Workshop was amazing. It made me get out of my way in terms of a different painting method and expanded my vision. Also, the friends I made from that weekend are wonderful. My eyes were opened and I can't go backward from that."<br />R. <br /><br /><br />"Thank you for sharing all your stories. I think you have a great way of helping people grasp and put into practice the principles of manifesting. Cheers!"<br />Anita Mosher <a href="http://www.anitamosher.com/" target="_blank">website</a><br /><br /><br />"Thank you so much for lighting up our lives and our paintings at this past weekend’s workshop! I loved hearing about your time with Wolf Kahn, your thoughts on painting, the beautiful demo, and of course the great feedback you provided us on our own paintings. You really reignited my desire to paint freely. I hope to spend another weekend painting with you sometime soon."<br /><br /><br />"Thank you for our workshop! It was a great two days. You are an amazing host and instructor, (two things that don’t always work together). You pulled something from each of us and it was wonderful to be a part of it. Thanks to the moon and back."<br />V <br /><br />"So, when my friend, Ken Elliott, told me he was co-teaching a workshop on color with Casey Klahn, I immediately said sign me up! Ken's work is simplified impressionist landscape with an emphasis on bold color like reds and yellows. Casey's work is influenced by the cloudy days of the northwestern part of the United States, and his paintings are simplified, abstracted landscapes. Casey uses subdued colors like blues and purples. Both artists' style and color sense are so dramatically different than mine that I knew I would be challenged by this workshop. And indeed I was! I have to smile when I see the work I produced in this workshop. It's so unlike my usual work."<br />Lee McVey <a href="http://leemcvey.com/" target="_blank">website</a><br /><br /><br />I so enjoyed meeting you and being part of the workshop.

Ken, you are a wonderful teacher & inspiring person!! The one day with you in your B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L home & "artist sanctuary" was "exactly" what I needed on so many levels !!! Thank you for your generosity, great color sense, sharing of your artful knowledge & supply resources.

And thank you to everyone for making our time together a magical weekend which will be cherished. Fortunately the universe provided me with what I needed, whether I knew it or not."<br />Linda<br /><br /><br />"Your workshop changed my whole outlook on what I might be able to do with my art career and gave me the confidence to really go for it. It was also huge from a creative standpoint, helping me focus on color and having that be the lead/primary solution to my paintings as a colorist and abstract artist - but also from the manifesting angle it was my introduction to the whole idea and what set me on my course as a professional artist."<br />Kirsten McGannon <a href="http://www.kirstenmcgannon.com/" target="_blank">website</a> <br /><br /><br />"It was a fabulous workshop!
