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

Day THIRTY


Picas
Acrylic on 12" x 12" panel board
Ready to frame
To purchase click: here



Day THIRTY of the "30 paintings in 30 days"…. Celebrate! It's been a busy, busy month.    One in which has pushed me more in different directions.  The figurative abstracts were a challenge in themselves, but one in which I discovered I had a knack for….and truly enjoyed painting them.  Another one of my discovery is what it takes to blog every day. It doesn't seem like much but you gotta make sure photographs are ready to go, listing the painting in the web gallery, writing something, links, etc.,  I often thought of my daughters who post several times a day on A Beautiful Mess.  My hat is off to you!  Thank you to all of you who hung in there read and commented this month, much appreciated.

Day TWENTY TWO


Montane
Acrylic on 22" x 36" heavy watercolor paper
Ready to frame
Available: HERE

Day TWENTY TWO…of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  Heavily textured surface as the paint has been built up on this one. A plus in that it gives the 156lb watercolor paper extra strength.  However, it would need to be framed and it is a rather large piece.  But there are options. Because it is an acrylic it would not necessarily need to be framed under glass. It could be adhered to a back support and popped into a floater frame.  Another idea, might be to have it placed on top of a matt and framed. Then of course it could always be matted and framed. The size of this piece could vary once framed depending on the size of matt and frame chosen.

So, what does it remind you of? I am having fun viewing it and imagining it as a mountain scene. The circles are like magnifying glasses for close ups.  Probably located somewhere in the southwest indicated by the colors. That's my take...

awe struck....


Night Life


SOLD


Modern Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Acrylic on 36" x 48" gallery canvas


This painting will light up a room!! I will be doing a commissioned work based off of this painting, Indian Summer (posted earlier) and Italia which recently sold. The colors will be bold and vivid like Indian Summer and have an abstract skyline like Night Life. Each panel will measure 60" x 24" and hang vertically on a long wall separated by a fireplace. ....and of course, I will post these when completed!!

Yesterday, in meeting the family and being in the home in which these paintings will be hung, it struck me of what an enormous influence that the work that I so love doing will have on this family. It will be a part of their family for years to come. With this thought in mind I am both honored and humbled.

Night Life is still available for purchase from Hawthorns Galleries. If interested in purchasing contact Kylee at 417-866-6688.

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
