Welcome to the Beth Ellis Collection
Paintings from the Open Air
“Before I begin painting, I like to go to the place and stand still. Arriving there quietly, I hear the sounds that normally go unnoticed. I smell the air and feel the temperature of the day. I see colors in shadows, the crispness or haze in the air and the dramatic effects of sunlight. These experiences all become part of the painting.” Beth Ellis 1953-2011
