Original Oil Painting by Ken Elliott. 30" x 48" gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides.
Ken Writes:
"It is fascinating to observe the edges of rain coming to the ground. Once I began to sketch this out on the canvas, there were some gaps in the land patterns and it struck me to turn those gaps into reflective ponds or marsh areas.
The abundance of reflective surfaces opened up the center of the painting, created more depth and made the rain effect even more pronounced. The dark areas at the top and bottom of the oil help to carry the light into the far distance. And for good measure, the strong diagonal, other cloud forms and the waterways all point to the falling rain.
It's theatre - a stage is set for the rain to make an appearance."

“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
