ABSTRACT PAINTING "FUSION"


Fusion
Acrylic on 36"H x 48" x 3/4" wrap canvas
(click on image for close up)


Layers upon layers upon layers would describe how this painting came together. The darkest darks are  Golden's dioxazine purple.  I haven't done this in a while, but absolutely love mixing this purple with yellow to get those rich browns. Reminds me of coffee! Variations of the brown are created by adjusting the amount of yellow and white added for lightness.  Usually, I will work with a color palette like this more along the time Fall is approaching…not the beginning of Spring.  Maybe, just maybe someone has been waiting for this one…could that be you?


Many, many more abstracts can be seen in my online gallery: HERE

slow cooking...


Exact
Mixed Media on 16"W x 15.5"H watercolor paper
Ready to frame


I've had this one setting on the back burner, so to speak.  Adding layers, this and that from time to time for the last several weeks.  Decided with the addition of the large circle that it was done this morning and photographed it to post/list.  I have another large 30" x 40" painting on the easel that I've been yearning to get back to work on.  Thursdays/Fridays are reserved grand daughter time and I had a few extra days this week as she was sick.  We played and played and played some more! So sweet when she wakes up and the first thing she says is "grandma will you play with me?" ....of course. 

So, shifting gears now...back into artist mode and hope to spend the next 3-4 days in the studio, painting, painting and painting some more!  The painting that is setting on the easel should be ready for your enjoyment, soon!

"New Day" .... Modern Expressionistic Abstract Painting by Elizabeth Chapman


Acrylic on 5" x 7" canvas panel
Purchase by clicking here.


Well, I haven't posted in over a week due to an upper back muscle strain,  EXCRUCIATING..... OMG.   I have not yet picked up a paintbrush (this is a previous painting) and to be honest I even wondered if I would be painting again.   It amazes me how the abstract paintings really have a language of their own.  If you scroll down to the last post and read- "Asleep" was speaking about a time for healing.  The process is slow going, but going.... and just like the buds the desire to paint is VERY much there.... and that is a blessing!   It's a new day......

"Asleep"..... Modern Contemporary Expressionistic Abstract Painting by Elizabeth Chapman


Acrylic on 5" x 7" canvas panel
"Asleep" can be purchased from my web gallery by clicking here.


Snowed again last night!  Looking out the window at the bare white covered trees that seem to be asleep makes me think about times of healing and restoration.  As they are resting now, in another month or so.... they will begin to bud and bloom again.... bright and beautiful!  There is also a beauty to be found during this time of the season knowing that this is the way nature works.  Knowing that beneath the snow on the leafless trees there are buds ready to emerge when the time is right.  Realize that when things are not going like we think they should... still they are going..... For everything there is a season...

Remnant


"Remnant"
Contemporary Acrylic Abstract
5" x 5"

Just listed this one in my Etsy shop.  I was working on another large abstract painting yesterday, but don't quite have it worked out yet.  I've got a new idea for it, so hope to get it done within the next few days and then I will post it.  I'm going to be teaching a workshop for the RedVelvetArt  girl's craft weekend in May, painting abstract paintings to be used as journal covers.  Fun time!!

I really like this small abstract painting.  I've been thinking about other possibilities.  Perhaps it will become the mock up for a large abstract painting.  SO, what do you think?!
