About this artwork
These are Elizabeth's thoughts about all her paintings. " Some people look at a realistic painting and say "another pretty picture" without looking at the artist's intent or why the artist spent so much time attending to detail. Why did the artist create this? Perhaps the artist saw something and felt a need to paint it. Maybe the artist saw this as a difficult image to paint and was excited by the challenge. Or maybe the artist was reminded of a…
memory that needed to be painted. Sometimes something so beautiful must be shown. Or the quiet contemplation of something experienced must be put on canvas. There is almost always something far deeper below the surface of a "pretty picture".
