Thanks so much Lenore for featuring The Studio in Old MASTERS Paintings and Traditional Arts. So honored to be selected for this showcase which is always a favorite of mine.

Many thanks, Stefano for featuring The Studio in 10 Plus. One of my favorite paintings, this one in pastel chalk.

This is such a wonderful painting, Nancy.......great composition, color and I love all the details here! I am tempted to take out my pastels too! L/f/pinned.

My "toys" are plentiful....my brushes await me....and now I'm playing digital games...just made a giant Mediterranean ancient sea port inspired by an exhibit of Egypt's sunken cities at our museum of art. It's like a Klee cartoon!

This is really fine work Nancy. The lines and angles that energize this are awesome. Great use of limited color too. LF!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Many thanks, Bob. I need to revisit my pastels....I still have my mother's set and several of my own purchases. Lots of equipment....even the paper!!! Spring would be a good time to get busy!

Really well done Nancy. You have taken a diffuse space and made it full of definition and intimacy , something I personally know is a real accomplishment.I cannot do this.I love the use of pastel and limited color rangel/f

So happy you found my studio pastel. I had so much fun in this class and left with a feeling of accomplishment. I have had a series of wonderful artists who have inspired me, convinced me I could "do it" and I did.

How wonderful Nancy, love it my friend Sherri fl-FB
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks for posting this, Sherri. I've been so busy with my geometry I forgot I could actually paint with pastel chalk and draw people!!

Next, because I still have it, I'll post the portrait I did of my teacher....very Klimt. Thanks, Bill!

Beautiful work, Nancy! l/f

This was the top floor of an historic old mill. Outside, of course...the stream, the waterfall....everything about it made for art!

I am always excited to see my work in the feature section of "Images That Excite..." Thanks so much, John for including this pastel.

Many thanks, Jim for featuring this pastel in WHAT Interrobang 1. I'm always honored by this notice!
Louise Hill
Fabulous composition!! f/l
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Pastels were new to me, the teacher was excellent and I got up the courage to just paint it all! I remember it was really a thrill.
Nikki Dalton
Such an amazing striking work Nancy! So beautifully composed! fl
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Truly I had "periods" in my art life....and this was one of them! Call it...realism!
Wayne Moran
wow remarkable.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks for this visit....to a pastel from my past. I had quite a few good teachers and I seemed to gather focus from other artists and I was always the student.

This is so well done Nancy and I love that you have changed the model to yourself instead of your teacher - so appropriate that you gave it to her...I love all the detail included, an that includes the fish up near the rafters. I love the warm, and just the right amount of light; I think you did a marvelous job here! "-))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I like that fish too! Actually the space was amazing as was the little town and old mill. Love all of your compliments! Thanks so much.
Laurie Search
I just love this, Nancy!! Fantastic work!!! :)))vf
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I look at this and feel like I'm back there in these classes. They were such good ones.

F/L Your "grande finale" is stunning! I am sorry you gave it away, but you have a picture it. I had to laugh at you changing the teacher's fave to your own - my kind of move!!! Do you ever get a hankering to pick up the pastels again?
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I guess I figured that I'd do so many more of these....but not so. There are always choices to be made in art and I'm not certain even now about which direction to travel. I still have chalk and even oil pastels....Love all of the art toys!!

Stunning. I adore this painting, Nancy. L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Having a teacher and other students always upped my "game". This was the my grand finale for pastels!
