Abstract Heart Painting "Sweet" by Elizabeth Chapman

Sweet

Acrylic on 12" x 12" x 1.5" wrap canvas

SOLD

from the "heart series"

This one was inspired from a contact regarding a custom order painting,  The painting was to be done similar to the background of "Menange" with a minimalist black line(s) running through it. As I was working on heart paintings at the time, decided to experiment with that background working a heart into it.  One of my less colorful more elegant abstract heart painting.

Another small heart for the "heart series, Pash was begun as another painting.  It sat around for a few weeks (bottom image) at which point I decided to take it in the direction of a heart abstract.  The paint on the surface became thick as I worked it with a palette knife.

More love!

smile...

Yes! I Another heart painting completed to be included in my heart series.  They had just not been happening for me, but was confident that another one would come along at some point.  This one was created with much ease.  The kind that just seems to happen before your eyes and your left wondering, "did I just do that?"

We have been created to have friendships and to love one another.  For me that includes showing kindness to all people. A smile and a kind word can go a long way in bringing some sunshine and cheer to another.


.....cheers!

Love one another..... 

I have contemplated selling the original painting as an image of it was used for a book by Jean Vanier titled "The Heart of L'Arche"- A spirituality for everyday, released Jan.17th. 2013 view HERE.  I am truly thankful for those who enjoy and see the marks of an artist in a work of mine enough to make a purchase in order to own and hang the painting in their home or in this case using the image for the cover of a book.  But for me, the true joy is in the process of creating!!


There is a story behind this painting as to what a small world we live in.  I was working with Sarah Smith, spckpublishing.co.uk, the cover designer for this book through several emails from the initial contact through the completion of the image transaction when she realized my connection to the blog " A Beautiful Mess". I am very proud of this blog/business in that these are my daughters as well as now having grown into a family business and they've been a huge inspiration to me from the beginning.  Sarah couldn't believe it as their blog is her front page on her computer, so that she has been keeping track of the 2-3 blog entries a day that they post.  She was working with their mom!


So, anyway...back to the painting... should I hang on to it or not?....well, I'll just let someone else decide that for me!!

Love Flow...for me painting is a form of communicating the expressions that are from the heart.  Staying true to these isn't always the easiest thing.  It is those innermost expressions from the soul that speak to another soul...love flowing.

Peace, Love and Understanding.....as I posted several weeks ago, I began painting the heart abstract paintings again after an inquiry I received from my web gallery.  This person had gone through my archive (a portfolio of my sold work) and had found these heart paintings. They had spoken so much 

to her.  She told me as a child she had always loved heart paintings in which the hearts were hidden.  

It was such a sweet email that touched my heart and spoke to me about the need to continue these.

So, I made this goal that I would paint one per week. Let's see, by next Valentine's Day there will be

.......... I'll let you do the math.  Maybe more than anything else is how they are speaking to me.  

I now look forward to this special time of creating a new heart and seeing what it has to say!  

Just something about a heart that speaks shades of love.   XO Elizabeth

Le Heart, Modern Contemporary "Heart" Abstract Painting, Elizabeth Chapman

'Le Heart'

 Acrylic on 16" x 20" canvas

 Available by contacting me: Elizabeth 

The second heart from the new heart series.   As I posted last weekend with "Truelove", upon request, I have decided to start these up again.  Images of the older sold ones  can be seen in the Archives section of my website.  This one was titled by my daughter Emma, who said my french grandmother, Simone, whom we affectionately called "la vieille" would be proud.

Lots of love to all Dads this Father Day weekend!  I lost my father several years ago and miss him very much.  He lived his dream and worked very hard to provide for his family.  Even though he was a quiet man and wasn't one for expressing his feelings...I always knew that I was loved and very special to him.  Much love....Elizabeth

Truelove, Heart Series Abstract Painting, Original, Elizabeth Chapman

"Truelove"

Acrylic on 16" x 20" x 3/4" canvas

Available

Truelove is a continuation of the heart series that I began a few years ago.  It began with a couple of heart paintings for a local fundraiser, "Heart for the Arts" here in Springfield, Mo.  I so enjoyed painting these that I decided I would continue the series (these can be seen in the Archives). Well, somewhere along the line I forgot them.  I had actually been thinking about them again as I was reading a book "Recover Your Good Heart" by Jim Robbins.  Well, it wasn't until here recently when I had an inquiry about the hearts that I realized it's time to paint these again. Thank you, Natalie! So, I painted this heart in response to that inquiry and have opened up a heart category (there's only one heart so far!) again in my web gallery. If you haven't visited my web gallery in a while (or maybe never have) I invite you to do that, as I have made changes over the last few weeks.   

It is my goal to begin adding a new heart to this series as a weekend post. We'll see.... there is so much that can be and has been written about love. That is what I think of when I see a heart. It speaks differently to the heart of each person. As an abstract painter I am seeking and searching for that moment when a work shows me there is beauty here. This is a beauty that reveals the glory of God. 

A reflection. God is love and it is through him that all that is true, beautiful and good is seen.  

This particular heart makes me think of the intertwining of two hearts as they become one. Perhaps it's because of the marriage of our oldest daughter Elsie, that I've been thinking about this lately. As I witnessed the exchanging of their vows and the commitment in their hearts that they were making for each other on their wedding day, I thought of how beautiful and happy they were together. 

Truelove will watch over them, take care of them and will grow over the years to come.
