Mountains

Where The Poppies Watch The Sea by artist Lisa Elley, is an original painting available through Adelman Fine Art Gallery in San Diego, California.

This piece captures that fleeting, sacred moment when the California coast begins to glow, sunlight sliding across the water, wild poppies opening their petals to meet the wind, and the whole landscape humming with presence.

Painted with only a palette knife, this work is rich with layered texture, depth, and emotion. Each knife stroke holds light, movement, and memory, inviting the viewer to step into the wild and remember what it feels like to breathe from the edge.

Inspired by the Big Sur cliffs in spring bloom, this is a painting about vitality, reverence, and the unspoken dialogue between land and sea.
