Sometimes an artist's work becomes internalized and finds its way into paintings which immediately seem to be influenced by the master works once enjoyed. This Turner like painting is one of those memories!

Nancy --Turner, yes -- but als a bit of Sistine Chapel here-- terrific. l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I'll take Turner but have to say I don't see the Sistine.. I've been there and stared up and looked closely in photos when it was cleaned ....it was dirty when I viewed it. Thanks for your good comment though.
Joyce Dickens
It seems that I have been here before Nancy, but when I open your thumbnails, this one draws me in....such a beauty and a wonderful homage to Turner; he would be proud :-))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
You are so wonderful to find this one....because it's really one of my very favorites....really gave me a boost of confidence. Thanks so much, Joyce.

Nancy, I'm so pleased you came to visit me as it reminded me to check out something you have done and I always find a wonderful surprise. This abstract is so beautiful and truly works as an homage to Turner, his colors and the power of the sea. I think he was very avant-garde for his time period and he would love to see how he has influenced your work. Just fabulous! You are so versatile; I love your work!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So nice of you, Maggie. I'm also a fan of your work....the beautiful still life photography and those impish fairies....a delight!!! I'll visit again soon!

Maya Bukhina
Magnificent painting !
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much, Maya. I used to work from photographs, or just being outside, but now all of my landscapes are imaginary. So happy you liked this one.
Joyce Dickens
My goodness Nancy, what an outstanding and energizing abstract; so much to see and enjoy; I feel like it is the amazing ocean with the waves breaking- mountains in the background and rocks in the foreground......absolutely stunning dear! :-))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Oh, so glad you saw this one. Sometimes I find myself unconsciously creating an image which reminds me of other art I have experienced. Voila, Turner. I was as surprised as I could be and loved the feedback of so many of my FAA friends. Thanks so much!!

Sarah Rachel
I love Turner and I love this just as much! Its beautiful, amazing work Nancy L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much, Sarah. What a very nice comment. I didn't realize that I was channeling Turner until suddenly it looks ...familiar.

Back again. I've always liked Turner's work. It seems that you have incorporated more light and this is even more appealing to me than some of Turner's works. By the way, my maiden name is Turner and my father, Edgar Turner was a great & prolific artist. Not famous, except to the locals. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Your father and my mother. It was so wonderful growing up in a home with the smells of oil paints and dusty pastels. My mother took over the dining room for her studio and she painted ...for years! We were both so lucky!
Nikki Dalton
Just love your works Nancy! Wonderful sensitivity, light and shimmering imagery, great tribute! FL
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
With the macro lens I can find light in the colors...and then in processing with the computer I can add even more light. Wonder if Turner would have approved...what a short cut.
Roland's Art
NICE work
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you for your nice visit to my art. I'm glad you like this one....!
RC DeWinter
Love your palette here, Nancy, great flow and you've captured Turner's turbulence. l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
A fellow turbulent....I like that. I do get some of my agitation out and into my art. I need to get back to work after a wonderful vacation. Thanks for this encouragement!
Dawn Senior-Trask
Wow! What a magnificent and exciting painting! Mesmerizing, resonant and a worthy tribute to the master! fav
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Such a lovely comment, Dawn. I am a big fan of your work....and your sister's also!
Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway
Nancy, this is soooooooooooooo good that I can't think of how to express myself. So I"ll simply say I love it! LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So nice to have this praise! I have so many artists I love and their influences creep into my free float abstracts more than I know. This time I could really see Turner.
