My favorite subject and treasured darling,

 caught in a moment of reflection.

Limiting my color palette was a big change

 to my usual bright colors,

 but it was fun nonetheless!

Colors of Greece by Lisa Elley. 100% Palette Knife Oil Painting

Colors of Greece by Lisa Elley. 2012. 11 x 14. Oil on Canvas.

This painting was so much fun, particularly the stairs.

 Perspective on these old European buildings is challenging,

 as they are falling over with age, nothing is really straight.

The colors also lured me into painting this.

 We are so used to seeing variations of blue from Greece,

 who knew these bright orange & pinks were hiding away there too!

Colors of Genoa by Lisa Elley. Palette Knife Oil Painting.

Colors of Genoa by Lisa Elley. 2012. 11 X 14. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife Painting.

Crumbling buildings with incredible colors and textures,

winding steps, ancient doorways steeped in history,

it all comes together so naturally in Italy.

This painting depicts a residential area in the city of Genoa,

 Italy's largest Seaport, and a city renowned for its impressive landmarks,

 art, music, gastronomy, architecture and history.

Miami by Lisa Elley. 2012. 9 X 12. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife Painting.

Who doesn't love the steamy vibrancy of Miami?

The reflections of the city lights through and around

the bridge drew me to paint this. That and a little local pride.

A Walk in Paris by Lisa Elley. Palette Knife Painting

A Walk in Paris by Lisa Elley. 2012. 9 X 12. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife Painting

Back in the fall of 1997, I found myself backpacking alone through Europe and came across an amazing park tucked away in central Paris. It was so full of beautiful colors and French charm, what an incredible experience, I'm so glad I threw caution to the wind and went traveling!

Derelict by Lisa Elley. 100% Palette Knife Oil Painting

Derelict by Lisa Elley. 2012. 16 X 20. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife

I was inspired to paint this incredible abandoned farmhouse in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. It dates back to about the 1860's. The corrugated iron roof just screamed cadmium red medium, which I simply can't resist. The typically New Zealand overcast, yet glary sky had a little pocket where the sun shone through and lit up the grass with a gorgeous golden hue.

Painting this misty, fall forest just felt so natural and organic. Not to mention the artist's glee in opening a tube of cadmium red medium...

Impromptu Pansies by Lisa Elley

Impromptu Pansies. 2012. 8 X 10. Oil on Canvas

With some paint to use up, and an hour uninterrupted,

 I decided to go down the floral route

 and so my "Impromptu Pansies" was borne.

Against All Odds by Lisa Elley

Against All Odds. 2012. 8 X 10. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife Painting.

This lonesome tree stands in a bay on the shore of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand.

If you google "tree in lake wanaka" you will find many images of this intrepid survivor!

Submerged at certain times of the year, somehow it battles on, providing us with a splendid example of the fortitude of nature! I thought it deserved to be painted.
