“Painting is all about observation...” — Ellen Buselli

American Artist First Prize winner, Oil, 70th Anniversary Competition

“My procedure is traditional, and the painting develops by carefully observing how the light defines each object and the space around it, and then putting down the values and transitions of temperatures in color.” — Ellen Buselli

“A great cover painting is not only a high-quality piece but one that truly sings. It must be arresting—able to grab your attention right away and be immediately recognizable as a terrific painting. Yet sublety is required, too; the painting must have enough complexity to keep you looking and reward your attention.”

“...Ellen Buselli’s ‘Sunlit’ came forward and took the prize. It’s a gorgeous piece—well-rendered and high impact, with rich, warm colors and an artful looseness to the brushstrokes upon close inspection.” — The Artist’s Magazine

“ I see in an abstract way when painting.” — Ellen Buselli
