"Desire" Modern Contemporary Art Painting by Elizabeth Chapman

'Desire'

Acrylic on 24" x 48" (1.5) canvas

Enjoyed this one for a while as it hung in our living room!  I was asked to paint it by my husband,  with the intention of it being a birthday present for my sister-in-law, Karin.  I'll have to admit that I was a bit nervous about painting it as it was to be a surprise and .... well you know.  I knew she liked the Mediterranean (Italian) palette of red, yellow and green and chose to work with those colors, but  other than that I had no other preconceived idea as I began.  I was very pleased with it but it wasn't for me.  We took it to her house on Saturday and gave it to her... and she loved it!!!  It's being displayed above a beige couch in her living room.

Happy Birthday!!!

Modern Contemporary Abstract

Acrylic on 24" x 48" (1.5)

I know that this one was just posted not too long ago but I thought I would post it again today since it will be a work of mine that will be featured in the 2nd annual WAM exhibition at Hawthorns Gallery tonight.  WAM stands for Women Artist of the Midwest.  Featured artists showing new work at the show will be Lisa Esposito, Alisha Brundege, Cathey Delisle, Louise Thies and Jeanne Davis.  To read more about this click on this link www. wamidwest.com. 

I feel so very honored to be an inducted into this show. As I've been looking back lately and reflecting over this last year. I 've been feeling very thankful for... a solo show in June that was extended into July, bringing quite a few sales, ...my first commission... sales from my blog... friends that have been so gracious.... my supportive husband and family... all encouragement I have recieved along the way.... and yes to you all my blogger friends who have faithfully followed my randomness.  This has not been the best of an economical environment to begin in,  but it has taught perserverance and for that I can be thankful  for as well and so much more ... most of all  to God from whom all good things come from.

Tonight is Friday Night Artwalk and the opening for WAM begins at 6:00 p.m.  So, come out for a great show, wine and appetizers!!

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.  Colossians 3:17
