I have had the pleasure of watching the career of Elizabeth Pruitt for the past
decade, and she is truly one of today's contemporary rising stars. She is equally
proficient in portrait, landscape and still life, but she is known mostly for her
beautiful classical still life compositions.

She has received recognition from many prestigious painting groups, including the
Oil Painters of America, the National Oil and Acrylics Painters Society, and most
recently, the C.M. Russell Invitational Exhibition where she was awarded the Tuffy
Berg award for "Best Newcomer" of the show. Her entry auctioned at the event for
over $7,000.

What many of her collectors don't know is that Elizabeth has been a teacher of art
for almost as many years as she has been a painter. She is a clear and articulate
instructor and can explain what and why she is doing on the canvas at any point in
the process. For this reason, she has made a fantastic educational DVD on how she
paints the still life in this program.

She spent almost a week in our studio, filming three programs to be released in
sequence. When she was finished, it was difficult to decide which to release first,
as they were all equally stunning. And, all three are equally informative.

It is often difficult to see an artist take a painting completely to the end, with
all the final details, but Elizabeth is accomplished at being able to do just this.
It is instructive to see how she builds the painting from a loose gesture in the
beginning, to a solid foundation, to finally, the finishing details that make the
objects seem to come alive.

This will be one of your favorites in your video collection, and I highly recommend
it to you.
