This pastel was of my art teacher who generously posed for her class. Her own
beautiful work was truly inspiring.
About Nancy Kane Chapman
I began my love for art by watching my mother paint in oils and pastels. I must have caught the bug because I have enjoyed fifty years of drawing, painting and photography, urged on and instructed by professors, a botanist, a master of Chinese brush painting and calligraphy, water colorists and lately, mixed media devotees. After a course in cubism in 1973 I began to explore pen and ink geometric art. Each stroke was unplanned but exact, the designs becoming more elaborate and more fun to execute. First circles, then onward to straight lines, then organic and architectural constructions. Thirty years later I still dance out on the white space of a simple sheet of paper to weave new drawings. Picasa effects allow me to...

Thanks, Bonnie. I loved learning pastels, but didn't go further.
Nikki Dalton
Fantastic expressive portrait Nancy! Bravo! fl
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Nikki. Sally Dubek taught a course in pastels and she was so nice to model for the class.
Dave Farrow
Wow Nancy K C, your abilities and diversity as an artist are simply amazing. I love this portrait of your art teacher. You certainly possess that "Midas touch"....gold to you my dear...L/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Dave. I certainly tried my "hand" at all of the art venues. And I loved and love them all. I never did settle into one style so my body of work looks like a tribe of people did it. Not even related to one another!!!
Rosemary Colyer
Great pastel portrait, Nancy! L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much. Actually portraits were the road not taken. I certainly loved doing them, but didn't really specialize and get serious.
Evelina Popilian
Great work, L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Just did a few of these pastel portraits. Glad you liked this one!

I love this! A lot of feeling in this one. Beautiful! v/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much, Lenore. This was one of my first pastel chalk portraits.
Karen Adams
I have missed visiting your gallery these past weeks. I hope to be back looking a little bit soon....lovely feel to this one! Love your composition...makes it feel so intimate...she seems weary, or am I projecting?? wonderful work!...fav/l10
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
She was my art teacher and we took a class in her beautiful studio in an old mill by the stream in Wisconsin. Did I tell you we lived in Milwaukee (my husband, Richard's home town for seven years). And it was a long pose and she was thinking I'm certain. She was a really good artist and this was my first pastel class.
Paul Lovering
Captivating and such a fine perspective , impressive Arts
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you, Paul. This praise is extra special from an artist who is so admired by me.
Ottilia Zakany
This is a very nice portrait, Nancy. I love the colors and composition. You captured her expression brilliantly. Amazing art-work! Like and fav.
Marlene Burns
It's all telling in the hand....well done! And that edgy composition! You go girl!! like
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Marlene. You are giving me courage. My daughter Sarah wants a grown up portrait from me and I'm on the spot getting prepared to deliver!!!
Nikki Dalton
Hello Sally, such a great portrait Nancy, a moment of quiet respite and contemplation! Beautifully expressed! fv
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I took a class from a wonderful teacher and she was Sally. She posed for us. It was pastel and what a joy it was to try this medium.
James Huntley
beautiful reflective pose...love the way you captured the hand.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
If I could force myself, I would love to spend more time doing portraits and figure drawings. Pastels (which my mother loved) are amazing and I have barely explored them.
Cyril Maza
I like it! Well done, Nancy. v
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Wish I could get back to this mood. My daughter wants me to paint her portrait!!! Thanks for the comment.
Carolyn LeGrand
Wonderful pose and talent involved in this pastel. I enjoy the mood you have created with Sally. F/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you Carolyn for these kind words. I just returned from a visit to your site and oh, my I'm so inspired by your work!! I'll revisit very soon.
Michel Verhoef
Really such a nice pose.....:))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you Michel. I have studied your wonderful photography and your portraits are so expressive and exciting.
Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway
Nancy, Love this pastel. This reminds me of a lady named Sally who was in our art group. She moved away and I don't know how to contact her..... Sometimes people just disappear from our lives. I miss her. In any case, I love your artwork. I hope YOU don't disappear. You have already brightened up my life by your fine art and your kind comments. F/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
That's why this site is so nice. I too have had many classes and lots of nice art pals who are gone. It's always fun to see what you are painting next....hope I can keep up....!
Nancy Kane Chapman
Thanks so much Ana. I really didn't do too many pastels and I should try again.
Nancy Kane Chapman
Sally was actually my artist teacher and she posed for us to learn pastel. But who knows the real story?
Sarah Chapman
love the expression and shading of the hand and face in contrast to the wrist. Really adds to the reflective, tired, somber ?? mood. Could be so many moods. Very thought/story provoking. Definitely leaves the viewer intrigued!
