Story / Additional InfoFrom the artist: "I love a good gesture in painting…how the paint comes off the brush in response to the wrist, speed, and pressure. That is what I set out to do with this small oil using tall, slender trees and the wisps of leaves I like to do, and then to try it out in blue. The painting began with veils of different blues to create atmospheric effects and depth and I took the painting forward and added the trunks with their wispy stems and foliage. The phone rang. When I came back into the studio I saw something very different. I added another 5 strokes or so, invisible to most, and it was magically done. I took a seat to enjoy it for a time."

Ken Elliott - United States

Art Brokerage: Ken Elliott American Artist: Elliott's earliest hands-on experience with art was gained while working for an art restorer in Texas, where he broadened his exposure to a variety of mediums and styles. He also worked as a picture framer and later as an art dealer, both of which helped Ken refine his knowledge and eye for art. In 1987, Elliott moved to San Francisco, where he began to experiment as an artist. He started oil painting and drawing with pastels, focusing on the California and Texas landscapes. After a few years of self-study, Ken attended Masters classes at the Santa Fe Institute of Art, studying under landscape artist Wolf Kahn. He further experimented with monotypes and collages.
