Scott Wallis

Scott Wallis’ paintings can be described as colorful, intense, vibrant and even aggressive. His impressionistic style makes you feel like you’ve been or want to be in each scene. He creates a vision of harmony with such elements as color, texture, light, surface interest, and balance, resulting in exciting works of art.

Gleaming white Spanish facades, Tuscan gold’s, cascades of brilliant flowers, bustling city scenes, winding country roads, a stone cottage in Europe, sensitive still life, or the reflective ponds and lilies inspired by Monet, often form the focal points in a Wallis painting and take us on a nostalgic trip to a simpler time. Whether our pasts are rooted in the locale of Northern California, the charm of old Europe, the call of bursting colors of infinite flowers, or any nook in rural America, Wallis’ paintings speak to all of us.
