I love the flow of this wonderful piece. Such energy and yet such balance. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I remember the wild feeling of painting LARGE....not my usual safe zone then. It was so fun to invent the medallions for small scenes. Thanks, Mary.

Lovely mood,, showing the energy of changing forces of Nature. The touches of warm colors against the cool ones are wonderful accents. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Planned as I painted, per usual! Losing control soon after beginning...and then I really enjoyed every moment! Thanks, I'ina!

I actually had a little cup hat like this one when I was little. It had brown fur around the edge and it was camel colored. A coat to match, I'm certain.

Love the interpretation! I was painting "big" which is not my normal size and with gouache. It was a fun exercise.

Gouache plus ink is so different from watercolor. This was unplanned, but quite interesting to develop. Thanks for the encouragement!
