Tuesday's featured painting..... INNER CHILD.... Modern Abstract



Inner Child
Acrylic on 30" x 40" gallery wrap canvas

I work intuitively most the time that I paint.  It's a beautiful magical moment when you can leave the critic within, engaging and trusting the inner child.  If you like this painting as seen here on line you would absolutely LOVE it in real.  Available for purchase from Hawthorn's Gallery in Springfield, Mo.

....back to painting the large canvases!!

Vibrant ll
Contemporary Modern Abstract
Acrylic on 24" x 36" canvas

I am so excited to be back painting on the large canvases. As I was working on this one it reminded me of another painting of mine titled Vibrant that recently sold. Not only is there a merging of the abstract and representational here, but a merging of techniques. I used Golden acrylics in this one with more of a watercolor approach to it. The colors are vibrant and vivid!!

red,red,red....

Scarlet Rope
Modern Abstract
8" x 8" on 300 lb. paper

This was actually another painting that was titled "Essence" that I revisted. I was really never totally satisfied with it. I did not think when I began making a few changes that it was going to change soooooooo much. Lots of red! What do you think?! If interested in this piece you can contact me at: elizabethchapman@artlover.com.

.....the narrow path


Narrow Path
Modern Abstract Art
Acrylic on 8" x 8"

Well, it's time to get back to working on those large canvases again! I've been away from them for several months-ouch- didn't realize it's been that long- but we've been making some changes around our home and one of those was my studio. I've really enjoyed working with these smaller abstracts, which can be framed and displayed in so many variations. Anyway..... it's time to face the giants, again...... those big canvases!! maybe tomorrow, eh?

But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:14

Just Beyond by Elizabeth Chapman

We are so incredibly busy right now moving stuff, cleaning and painting walls. My studio is getting moved upstairs in a bedroom to make room for my youngest son and his family to live in our basement as we help them get through school. I'll post some pics of my new studio when we get done. This is another one from these smaller paintings. It measures 8" x 8" on 300 lb. paper and is ready to be framed. This one could be paired up with yesterday's Mi Casa (my home) or collected for a grouping display of miniature modern abstracts.
If your interested in any of these and would like to have them framed- let me know. It's a contemporary look that doesn't require matting or glass. I could have them framed and shipped for just a little extra. $40.00 s/h included elizabethchapman@artlover.com

Provision

Provision
Acrylic Palette Knife Painting
8" x 8" 300lb. paper

The squash and zuchinni in our garden is absolutely going crazy. We planted about a 20ft. row of it at the same time and it is now already at the same time. As I was I picking it the other day along with some cherries I was inspired by those colors and thinking how God so graciously provides for us each day. This painting was an outpouring of those thoughts and the title came from the realization that each day's provision comes from a loving heavenly Father. No worries!

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34

changes......

Contemporary Abstract Watercolor

"Emerald"

8" x 10" watercolor on 300lb. Arches paper


........ well I've been back to painting with watercolors again. It's been awhile, since I've been working abstractly with acrylics on canvas. I have a tendency to revert back to realism when I paint with watercolors. This one was different, more of the merging between realism and abstract with a lot of life!! Perhaps a reason for a change is because I've been sooooo inspired lately by what seems like the perfect colors in flowers. We were out at Nathaniel Green Park the other day and I took tons of photos and hope to get more photos this summer. They are just so gorgeous and beautiful. Also, perhaps another reason is that watercolors just seem more like a summer time medium. Another reason?- we've just been really busy lately making all kinds of changes in our home...painting, really, really cleaning, organizing and moving all for a very special reason. More on that later, but maybe that has also sparked a change.

Anyway... if this original watercolor has captured you then home with you it must go! It measures 8" x 10" on 300lb. acid free Arches paper. Winsor & Newton paints have been used for high quality lightfastness. Painting is sold unframed and will be shipped in a protective sleeve. $20.00 plus s/h

The Show

It's time!! The June First Friday Night Art Walk (June 5th) will be the opening night for my first ever solo show! Many of the pieces that will be in that show I have displayed over the last few weeks on my blog. Live music by Don Chapman and Jeremy Larson. I would like to thank Hawthorns Gallery for the wonderful opportunity they have given me and the review they gave for this opening, which can be read here. If you live in the Springfield area and would like to come, heres a map and I'll see you there!

"The Show" is an acrylic painting on a 36" x 48" 1 1/2" canvas. There is something that is lost in the photo when you can't see the size. Imagine it if you will- covering a wall (your wall!!) and the colors are so bright and happy! The colors are close. The canvas is just covered with beautiful color combinations and movement! (click on photo for up close) I love the colors!! It is one of my most recent pieces and so will not be included in this show. Maybe next time?! It was titled "The Show" by the one who so often titles my work, my husband, Don. It reminded him of theater lights and how so appropriate with this upcoming event. If you feel you may have the wall for this piece or for further information contact me. Well....hope to break a leg!!

To those of you who were involved in Elsie's 24 hour blogathon and won some of my paintings,I recieved your thank yous and you are sooooo00000 welcome. I'm sure they found good homes and will be enjoyed. Your comments were all so sweet- keep working on taking over the world with cuteness!!!!!
