Beautiful!!! L/F!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you, Meg. This one is especially shining because I mixed Alcohol inks with the acrylics.
Lianne Schneider
Oh I love this - what a beautiful abstract that allows the viewer to really get absorbed into the work - the color, the flow, the imagination of it. I can feel the sea at sunset!! Gorgeous. F/L FB T

Gorgeous abstraction...the sea is very inviting and I want to go there!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Inventing landscapes and seascapes is a leftover from copying so many Chinese brush paintings. It's very fun to do.
Karen Adams

I'm mixing some alcohol inks over the acrylic. That deep orange. It gives another dimension!

Wonderful intriguing abstract Nancy! the mesmerizing reflective effect of the water is superb! so atmospheric and expressive! Great work! fv
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I think it's because I have been mixing art inks with my acrylic painting. They have a strange beautiful glow.
Nancy Kane Chapman
Yes, the inks are so wonderful....and I've used them in several of my newer painting and there's a distinctive difference in those pieces.
Lenore Senior
This has an immediate sense of reflection, but on second look, it's more like there is something beneath the surface demanding attention. I love this painting. v/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you so much, Lenore. I have been using Adirondack Alcohol Ink (shades: ginger, caramel, latte) with acrylics and the effects are so unusual. I learned about this in a mixed media class. It comes in non-alcohol too, but they're harder to find.

Nancy, I'm glad you did post this one. It is so interesting and has fascinating shapes. The colors are great too. F/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you Anne-Elizabeth. Now that there's a snap of cold in the air, I feel the creative juices stirring!

I can see a person looking at me blended in this amazing expressive abstract portrait , those stunning blue hues add to a fabulous and exciting conceptual landscape , wonderful work Nancy
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I photograph these at close macro distance and I have had a flare (of me) in my art before. I can see it and I think it's nice to have a ghostly image ....thanks for the lovely comment. I almost didn't post this one!
