"California Gold: Small Field," painting by Elizabeth Parashis, copyright 2011

 

Editor’s Note: Elizabeth Parashis is an accomplished expressionist figurative painter and draughtsman who also hosts open model sessions for artists at the Stone Griffin Gallery in Campbell, California on two Thursday evenings of the month.

 

She recently has been trying her hand at landscapes, and if this one is any indication, they are just as wonderfully expressive and juicy as her figurative work. When you scroll down this issue of Eos, check out some of her recent figurative drawings embellishing two poems–the drawings aren’t her paintings, however their fine raw liveliness of execution may give you an idea of what I mean.
