Steve Ellenburg Art

Wine is the answer, what was the question?

My art is of simplistic forms from the heart focusing on wine, people, and situations.  While I try to present a realistic image, the goal isn’t to draw a photo realistic picture. My goal is to represent the images as I see them.  Maybe even develop a desire to be there.  Most of my work is stand alone but I have several pieces that present a story in several panels.  I try to create a sense of familiarity or desired state of mind or place.

 My journey is a simple one. I doodled a bunch in a younger day then moved to pencil sketching.  I was challenged to chase my enthusiasm.  So, the adventure began…  I started taking workshops and reading books, and the occasional JC course.

I started collecting and following what turned out to be my lifetime influences.   MC Escher, Fabian Perez, Maxfield Parrish, JD Hillberry, Aldo Luongo, and Henry Asencio have all contributed to my journey. They say you should paint what you love.  People might not appreciate paintings of my wife and dog but wine, celebrities, personal portraits, and the female form all have their passionate creative expressions that compel me to paint as well.  You can also drive downtown, Placerville CA, and see outdoor mural on the historic Placerville Hardware store.

 

My work is acrylic on canvas and board.  I sell prints for the budget minded.
