The Gift

The Gift

Acrylic on 8" x 8" 300lb. paper

Just thought I would do a painting with a person in it. As I was going through our box with old photos this one stood out. I liked the way the little boy is sitting in the center surrounded with all the presents. This is actually a nephew of mine at his first birthday party which was in the summer at a park. Painted in an impressionistic style with a palette knife.

"Untitled"

8" x 8" acrylic on 300lb. paper

Available

I have spent the majority of the last few days painting- Magnificence over the weekend- and then today four small abstracts. I really liked this one a lot. It reminds me of one I did called Night Life a very large painting currently at Hawthorn's. I'm thinking about continuing with the large abstracts and also beginning a series of semi-abstract florals in acrylics. I would also like to expand out and do some landscapes and figure paintings. I also enjoy the transparent watercolors, so maybe some more florals and abstracts with them. It seems like it would be just so much easier to stick with one medium and style- At the show I was asked, "so who is the artist that did those paintings over there?" oh well- I guess just go with the creative flow!!

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting will be sold to the highest bidder. The price of the painting begins at $85.oo. Bidding ends this Thursday at 9 p.m. CST. I will include north american shipping/reduced international. E-mail me your bid. elizabethchapman@artlover.com

Wow!! This painting just speaks with color! The inspiration came from a bouquet my daughter Elsie gave me for the opening of my show. Oh, I knew when I saw them that I would want to use them for a painting, but I had no idea the color would turn out as bright and bold as this. Magnificant!!

Feel assured I use nothing but high quality materials. This painting has layers of Golden acrylic paint, painted thickly with a palette knife. Painting will be sealed with a protective UV sealant, sides will be painted and wired on the back ready to hang. Painting is sold unframed but could be framed with a ready made frame.

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!!!!!
