As the artist was painting this oil, his mind would often go to a couple of artists that lived in the same town, Monet and Bonnard. They were both "dabbers" with Monet saying he never finished a painting and Bonnard with this story, "When he had mixed a new color that was just right, he would revisit and retouch old work. Once, he persuaded his friend and fellow Symbolist Edouard Vuillard to distract a museum guard whilst he added his latest color to a hung painting." Quoted from the Port Magazine.

To begin this piece, Elliott pulled out an older canvas that was at a dead end. He had struggled mightily with it, resulting in a very thick veneer of paint. Perfect! For this new composition, he welcomed the ready-made texture and began to lay in the general outlines of this work.

The plan was to create a fully impressionist work with hundreds of marks to create the effect of tightly packed vegetation, but with the illusion of light and space. The arrangement was a simple one and open to colors of all kinds.

With these open brushstrokes, it quickly became apparent that each mark had a meaning. Some colors became backgrounds and others moved forward in the space differently. It was a bit like 3-D chess and a real delight to participate in a work that was essentially painting itself and bringing the artist along for the ride.

"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.
