The artist had the great honor to recently have toured the Holy Land with a group from Steamboat Springs in 2020. An exception to the daily travel photos was an evening in Jordan at a nice hotel on the edge of the Dead Sea He was sitting alone with this long, unobstructed view across the water to Israel. It was a quiet evening before sunset and he had the long promenade to himself. As the light was changing, he began to shoot the scene. There may be art in this.... Once the painting began, the land mass became the compositional anchor and the place where the colors started to flow. As the painting progressed, the flow became an important part of the sea and sky as well. He didn't catch it at the time, but his insistence on this limited group of colors and movement in every part of the scene is what made it all come together in an interesting way. As he was adding the last brushstrokes to the work, a title came to me, something that touches us all, "The Light in the World." On gallery-wrapped canvas with painted sides.

Ken Elliott

"Making giclees gives me an opportunity to revisit and improve upon my original works."

Ken Elliot's involvement in the art business has spanned over 40 years. He began as a picture framer, worked alongside an art restorer, and became an art dealer before beginning to draw and paint about 25 years ago. In his career, he's been fortunate to have seen remarkably good works of art and met some of the best painters in the field.

Elliot's focus is the landscape and its rich store of ideas and inspiration. He is compelled to work from the trees, skies, lakes, and streams in their endless variations. He doesn't try to recreate nature (even Monet said he never got it right) or attempt storytelling. Instead, his works are simplifications and exaggerations of nature. There was a time when he felt the tyranny of the landscape; that is, he felt limited by making pictures of a place. Now, instead of making pictures, he is free to make paintings—art that comes from nature but is far more reliant on the strategies of making good art objects.
