About this artwork
An autumn landscape in the mountains, with the golden leaves of birch trees fluttering in the wind. A distant peak capped with the first snowfall of the year. Part of artist Lisa Elley's newest series using a deep impasto technique. The paint is applied in thick strokes, creating a very sculptural effect. In some areas, the paint is over half an inch thick. This painting resonates with a poetic symphony of turning leaves, crisp, bright earthy colors and textured white bark, says Lisa.
