“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


Buselli’s “Study in White” featured in American Artist’s December 2008 article “Morandi’s Influence on Contemporary Still Life Painters”

Study in White

“...I am moved by the simplicity and purity of his (Morandi’s) paintings. He seemed to give humble inanimate objects a lifelike personality, and his compositions seem to have an almost monumental status, like architecture.”

“He welded together boundaries,and diffused edges. His economic use of color and values — and their transitions — unified objects as if they were one.” — Ellen Buselli


“Sunlit”— winner of The Artist’s Magazine first annual Cover Competition

Cover of The Artist’s Magazine

“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
