2012 Changes...ORIGINAL Contemporary Abstract Painting "Intrigue" by Elizabeth Chapman


Intrigue
Acrylic on 24" x 48" x 1.5" wrap canvas


All in the process.... and what a long one this one has been. This painting has gone through several phases beginning with the first one in January of 2012.  Click here to see that blog post.  I just was not totally satisfied with that painting. so in March it under went another change, to be seen here.  Still, it continued to tug on me and so I decided to make a few more adjustments .... and well ended up with a totally new painting!  But, it will keep the same title..."Intrigue".

And yes...it is finished!


Speaking of changes....we are very excited and happy for our daughter Emma who just became engaged the day after Christmas!!  I have opened a tab at the top of this page titled "Family" where you can read about and see pics of this special occasion.  Our kids got us iPads for Christmas and are encouraging us to join instant gram. So, there you go...a new years resolution to take and post more family photos.  My intention is to also share them with you!

"INTRIGUE" Modern Art, Contemporary Abstract Painting, Elizabeth Chapman

INTRIGUE


Acrylic on 24" x 48" x 1.5" canvas

This painting has gold and silver metallic paint mixed in, accenting the reds and blues.  Unfortunately, the metallics don't photograph so well.  Fresh off the easel and just posted to my website.  I've got an order of large canvases from canvasplace.com (best place ever) coming in next week and very excited about getting back to the plentiful play spaces. (try saying the last three words fast three times!)

I would call this painting an extended palette knife painting, as it began much like Iridescent or New Dawn and then evolved using a roller into much more.  I augmented the red with orange and the blue by  adding the green. In finalizing the painting I then used white and incorporated the metallics, gold and silver, last.
