So so inspired! I’m going to get my gear out again. Such a sweet lady I love how she deals with motherhood and art. Not letting it hold her back, very inspiring as I have three ❤
I love Ellie’s landscapes! I love them even more after watching this interview. I took my 4 kids (ages 1, 3, 6, & 8) to a small plein air event an hour away this summer in Dr Smet SD. It was bananas, but I’m glad I did it haha! It is so great hearing/seeing how professional artists make it work with kids at home. It makes me even more motivated to keep finding ways to make it work.
A "big deal"... I like that. Intrigued with where you go with the more abstract influenced landscapes. Happy that "Burning Red" was talked about. Keep "torturing" yourself... I think some freedom in where a painting goes while in progress is a plus. I'm glad I got to know more about Ellie. I love the gem of painting of hers I own!
That was a fantastic discussion. I really enjoyed it. The aspen grove that Ellie mentioned is called the Pando Clone and it’s down by Fish Lake. Thanks for putting these together.
I’m watching Ellie for the second time and I see I made a comment about her 4months ago. She’s incredible… studied with one of my favorite painters. Scott Christiansen. Pleinair competitions have been around since I started 20 years ago PleinAir magazine with Eric Roads has a wonderful issue.. I think in December?.. that lists hundreds of competitions around the country.. I did two competitions locally out of Reno Nevada many years ago, but at my age 75 I do mostly commissions and gallery work .. good luck, jeff and congratulations and good luck to you Elle.
As a plein air artist I enjoyed and agree with everything shared by Ellie and you Jeff. This was a really fun and great laughs since she really shared the feeling in her art experiences.
Wonderful....missed hearing what kind of paint was used in the studies....thin oil? on untreated paper? or a water based paint?They are sumptuous. thanks both of you!
Consider Kathleen Dunphy for possible interview. Great plein air painter who happens to be an outstanding teacher of workshops. Ellie Wilson was outstanding!
As glaciers move and melt they have rocks stuck into them that grind against the rocks/mountains under them. When the glacier starts to melt in the summer, that melt water brings the ground up rocks, called Rock Flour, down into the rivers and lakes. Because blue/green are the shortest wavelengths that is the colours that we see when light is reflecting off the water. The different amount of Rock Flour suspended in the water means the different colour of the water. No two akes are the same colour in the mountains. This is why the water is opaque as well.
Brothers instead of professors ??that’s awful! I grew up Catholic and at the local brother Rice high school in Chicago. Those are brothers !! not quite priests so they’re called brothers! OMG!
What did we do to deserve such amazing episodes 😍 another great one, so inspiring and motivating!
Yay! Thank you!
Found my new favorite podcast❤

So humble and real. Seeing Ellie’s work makes me want to move west to paint. The plains of the Midwest just do not have the grandeur.
Ellie is so honest and such a precious person. Thanks for a most enjoyable podcast.
Great interview! You guys covered some really good staff philosophically!
Jeff, it was great to hear a home grown Landscape artist tell their story.
What an enjoyable conversation. Thank you both.

Same. Knowing Ellie makes me LOVE her work even more. She’s a beautiful soul. Thanks for watching.
