Gala, Love to laugh, Modern Art, Original Art, Contemporary Expressionistic Abstract Painting, Elizabeth Chapman

'Gala'
Acrylic on 11" x 14" x 3/4"
Available, click here or contact me







Are you needing to laugh?!  Watch this short video clip from an old time favorite, "Mary Poppins".  I promise you will end up chuckling along with it!  In this scene Mary Poppins and the children are at Uncle Albert's trying to talk him down from the ceiling ........... instead they all end up joining him for tea time floating in the air.  Keep those happy thoughts!

So, your probably saying, "what does this have to do with this painting?"  Well .... as I got into the spin of this painting it began to remind me of tea cups floating in the air, which in time reminded me of this scene.  Hope you've enjoyed both ................. Have a great weekend!

Florum, Modern Art, Original Art, Expressionistic Abstract Painting, Elizabeth Chapman

'Florum'
Acrylic on 16" x 20" x 3/4" canvas
Available, $100.00,  click  here


 

Some days are spent more on the computer than on painting and is a very necessary part of being an Artist today.  As I was working online I realized that I had not posted this painting on my blog, which was actually completed a few weeks ago.  I will have some more small ones to post ....... AND there is a large one on the easel!  Yea ....... just trying to decide if it's finished or not.

This painting is a continuation of a new technique in which I've been working with a fairly stiff brush, blending and mixing the colors on the canvas.  I also used a roller to soften some edges and lastly work with the detailing.  To purchase this one or to get a sneak preview of the new small ones...click here....and scroll down.

Been BISEE this week as Penny would say!  We've been taking care of our grand-daughter since Wednesday as her parents went to Austin, Texas for a few days.  This one was painted just before she came to stay with us, as there is no way I could have done it while she was here.  Everyday was another day of painting, drawing, eating, Dora, playing outside, napping, sleeping, drawing, painting and then the cycle began all over.  She woke up one morning, her eyes great big as she exclaimed "draw"!  Penny is now almost 2 years old and I don't think I have ever seen anyone who loves to draw and paint as much as she does.  Even outside she picked up rocks to draw with on the sidewalk!  It truly is one thing after another...and she'll tell you that she's busy!!

So, she left today....and I already miss her so much!  This painting reminds me of the way I spent my time with Penny over the last few days....a whirl....from one swirl to the next!  This painting can be purchased from my blog by clicking on the above floral tab or  here, and scrolling down or by contacting  me: elizabethchapman@artlover.com.

Not sure were I'm headed with this but I've been working more with creating various effects with my brush.  Sometimes it's almost like I'm scrubbing while mixing colors on the canvas, layering and just letting go and seeing where it leads me.  This one kinda has a sweeping atmospheric feeling to it....

I've started making these abstracts available from my blog....so if your madly in love with this one.... it is available. Just click on the small tab at the top.
