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.

Lynda Lehmann
Just gorgeous, Nancy! It can be difficult to paint with white. LF and a fave!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I still remember the excitement I had in front of each of these magnolias, perched in water in front of me, slowing opening with the heat from the room. .... the challenge, the fun of trying to "catch" the. beauty and structure. each one of these paintings different....separated by weeks and sometimes years. The wonderful aromas......goodness. I was such an artist in those years.

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I'm so happy you wandered over to my magnolia gallery. I just fell in love with these flowers. There were so many magnolia trees in Pasadena and I always painted from a fresh one with its beautiful perfume filling the air. It was a very exciting time in my art "life".

In the style of O'Keefe Nancy, the minimalist tweaking with line and whote on white.Great work.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much! I'm trying to assemble three of my flowers for your contest. Maybe this one will be in the running!!!
Marlene Burns
don't know how I missed this collection, Nancy....stunning! Your treatment of this magnificent bloom is just right.....I can even catch their aroma!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So glad you found them! I really enjoyed each portrait. And none were painted from a photograph so it was quite an experience to try to catch the shapes and shadows as the flower continued to open.
