Original Oil Painting by Ken Elliott.48" x 36" gallery wrapped canvas with painted neutral grey sides. Ready to hang.
Ken Writes:
"I can assure you, it took a lot of sessions in the studio before any glittering appeared in this oil. This painting went through 5 or 6 big changes and once the composition came together, I declared it finished, photographed it and declared it a good day.
When I returned to the studio the next morning, it was apparent that something had been lost along the way. As it often happens, I think my just-finished oils are really good until the next day. That's OK, because it's an opportunity to take the painting further, and I jumped right in with much brighter colors.
Since I was painting over a slightly duller background, those brights began to sing! Additional colors were added to the mix and while I was putting on the last strokes, the title came to me, Glittering Forest!"

“I am compelled to work from the trees, skies, lakes and streams in their endless variations. I don’t try to recreate nature (even Monet said he never got it right) or attempt storytelling. Instead, the works are simplifications and exaggerations of nature. There was a time when I felt the tyranny of the landscape. That is, I felt limited by making pictures of a place. Now, instead of attempting representations of a scene, I am free to make paintings that are far more reliant on the strategies of making fine art."
"IN MY WORKS, ALL OF NATURE IS ALTERED, PERFECTED AND ABSTRACTED. WHEN I RUN OUT OF VARIATIONS TO AN IDEA, I’LL GO BACK TO NATURE WHERE ALL THE INSPIRATIONS AND COLORS FOR A LIFETIME ARE ALWAYS WAITING.” - KEN
