Accord....Contemporary Expressionism Abstract Painting by Elizabeth Chapman


'Accord'
Acrylic on 24" x 48" x 1.5 gallery canvas
SOLD/contact: elizabeth

Something about the last painting I painted (last post) that sent me into this one.   A summerish feeling... like Indian Summer.   The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here this week here in Springfield.  Perhaps that did it too.  Working with a limited palette of mostly cool colors and few golds, it was much like a dance as I worked myself through the canvas.  This painting happened very quickly.  I began seeing circles emerging and went with those.  They remind me of how all things are united and held together, which reminds me of a verse Col 1:15-20, a good read if you have time.

A portion of it:
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Col 1:17

'Faith' Contemporary Abstract Painting


'Faith'
Acrylic on 24" x 30" x 1.5" gallery canvas
Available

Confession time.... I started this painting three weeks ago and did not touch it again until today.   It's true I have been in a creative slump lately.  Prior to this time I had put together three paintings in a week for a spur of the moment show I got asked to do.  Not bad, only this was done all the while babysitting our almost one year old grand daughter, Penelope.,    As an abstract expressionist painter there are so many unknowns in beginning a work.  When I first began this painting I was thinking about needing to just have faith that it would go as it was suppose to.  Well....three weeks later... and here it is.

On another note... I always look forward to Sunday nights, as our daughter Emma does the cooking.  Tonight we had curry lentils, home made bread and some really yummy peanut butter/chocolate truffles. These meals are what she uses for her blog From Scratch.

"Downtown Blues"

"Fiesta"

These were among my first very colorful abstracts.  This last one was difficult to photograph with all of the reds.  It is a large painting that was inspired by a still life set of bottles.  Colors are beautiful!

These last two years have been an incredible journey in which I have had the opportunity to develop and grow my God given talent.  I have learned SO much!!!

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good!
