Brand new artwork by Elise Beattie
Welcome to the gallery dedicated to my newest art creations!
"SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS"
30" x 38" framed poured watercolors, fluid acrylics and paper collage.
In this painting I look to retreat into my imagination, this time focusing on a visual theme of water and sound. Music has always been a source of inspiration to me and in combing the two themes I found inspiration.
For this work, I examine not only what I imagine an ocean to look like but also the sounds that I imagine of offshore waves as they roll by the hull of sailboats in a turbulent rush of foam and water.
This abstract painting can be found for sale at The Chase Gallery in Spokane's City Hall during the month of November!

"Bridge To My Imagination"
“Bridge to my imagination” is an abstract landscape that illustrates my life. Metaphors of experience sail through imaginary waters as inspiration filters through my mind. Finally creative thoughts cross the bridge that unite my spirit with my imagination.

20" x 24" poured wc, fluid acrylics and paper collage on a gallery wrap canvas.
"BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY"
Enjoy this new watercolor, sumi ink and acrylic painting created on a 22 x 17" watercolor paper.
Inspired by the music of the famous Andrew Sisters, who in 1941 became famous with their song of the same title.
Over and over again, I listened to the music of the great bands and crooners, who like the
Andrew sisters travelled with the likes of Bob Hope to entertain the war weary soldiers of WWll. As I listened , the story of this juke box and the dancer developed before my eyes as she swayed to the music.
Click the button and you can swing to the sounds of the bugle boy, too!

"FLUIDITY OF UNIVERSAL TIME"
This painting is the third in my series of "Universe" Paintings. It has been created using poured watercolors, fluid acrylics and paper collage.
In this painting I once again look to retreat into my imagination and examine time and our universe through the lens of my “mind’s eye” . For this painting I examine not only what I imagine the celestial world looks like but also the concept of time. With a little help from Salvador Dali, I conclude that our interpretation of time is relative to our uniquely different fluid views.
