Last painting of 2022, a colorful and textured deep impasto cityscape, featuring San Francisco and the bay.🌇 This one is 8x8” in oil, and I used some of my fancy palette knives for the textured effects, and to create movement in the sky.🌅 Those buildings are the Transamerica pyramid and the Salesforce tower, adding to the contemporary vibe.⚡️ More cityscapes to come in ‘23! 🥰🎉 . . . . . #paletteknife #paletteknifepainting #deepimpasto #impasto #painting #cityscape #cityscapepainting #sanfransisco #bayarea #vangogh #texturedart #texturedpainting #texturepainting #oilpainting #artists (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzLs1Dp2Fq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was made to take photos of my studio life by my publisher.😀 Sometimes it's good to have a little push, otherwise I'd just be hiding in my sweatpants covered in paint forever!

This is ‘Costal Daydream’, and it sold, many thanks to a collector browsing my Etsy shop. 🥰 It’s depicts the mood I’m in every time I arrive on the Mendocino Coast and see the emerald Pacific framed by the summer sweet peas. It’s a sleepy piece of California coastline north of San Francisco, just far enough to deter day trippers, but close enough for those who love the longer drive through wine country and redwoods before arriving at the foggy coast. Bliss! This piece is 12x16” in oil with tons of texture in the wildflowers. If you swipe you can see the shadows, dips and valleys created with the palette knife. I’ll probably scale this one up at some point. . . . . . #artwork #artist #artgallery #artcollector #artstudio #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartwork #landscapepainting #largeart #santacruz #monterey #cali #california #beachvibes #wildflowers #spring #deepimpasto #impasto #paletteknife #paletteknifepainting #paletteknifeartist #knifeart #impastoart #impastoflowers #painter #pleinair #mendocino (at Mendocino,CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKXOwgyOK1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m so thrilled to share that I’ve written a book that will be released next Spring! 📕 It’s an instructional palette knife painting book with stunning (and do-able) bite-sized projects, complete with detailed step by step instructions of my process. It also has tons of tips, photos, exact materials, insights and inspo, straight from my heart, and my studio! ⚡️ I spent many months deep in the process of constructing the projects, creating a variety of floral, architectural, landscape, and seascape pieces for you to follow along with. The paintings feature popular scenes with Van Gogh inspired details, lots of vibrant color, different palette knife techniques explained, and of course… TEXTURE! 💥 It’s available for pre-order now, and will be released May 23 of 2023. Pre-orders online are how the publishing world now works, so if you’ve ever wanted to learn from me, it’s a great place to start! I’ve linked up the Amazon page in my bio, and you can even send it to someone as a gift. Please note that the actual book will not be delivered until after the publication date of May 23, next year. It’s also available on all other book retailer sites, such as Barnes & Noble etc, just type in ‘Lisa Elley’ in the search bar. It’s an absolutely gorgeous book, and very reasonably priced I think.
