Thanks so very much, Stefano for this feature in 10 Plus. I'm so glad to have a new showcase for some of my more popular paintings. They get lost in time as I continue to do new work.

I had been doing acrylics for several years and just recently decided to do a watercolor. I must say it was really fun.

Fabulous watercolor abstract! I could see the apple right away. Love the palette, flow and movement in this work! FV

Thank you Angela. I just did this one last month, so it's good to hear that my skills are still sharp.

Dear Nancy, This is another of your many fascinating, fabulous, meaningful and inspiring works of art. (My computer has not been working right lately. Otherwise I would have commented sooner about this as well as many others on your site Congrats for being choses for MOUSE. Paintings need to tell a story to be featured in MOUSE and this one has my imagination going with many tales of lore. Your work always inspires me, Nancy. The colors, shapes ~~the entire composition: splendid and uplifting. Thank you for your kind and gracious comments. I always enjoy hearing from you, my across-the-miles friend. Blessings to you always. Your admirer, Anne F/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Just returned from NYC (a wedding) to find this lovely comment. I love your interest and encouragement so much. You are truly a working artist, lots of shows and sales, etc. I feel like a late comer, so it's especially nice to find such a nice friend in art. I thought about sending a photo, but didn't have your email to do that...and I didn't want to post it on FAA.
Gun Legler
Wonderful painting! I see a big face. FV
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
The big face arrived when the three little apple seeds decided to be a nose! Thanks for the praise.
Paul Lovering
How wonderful and fearless in creation , a beautifully painted abstract landscape that turns into a portrait for me , inspired dear Nancy
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
It was quite by accident that the portrait showed up with the landscape. I first saw the ear!!! Thanks for great comment, friend Paul.
Karen Adams

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Good old watercolors....I hadn't played with them in ages...and I like the effects very much!
Lianne Schneider
What an incredibly lovely style you have Nancy - so warm, vibrant and inviting. Once one sees the title it's hard to see the origin in a landscape but I can do so now easily. I love this flow of color here. F/V
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you Lianne. My first love was watercolors...all of those magnolias....and so now when I return to it it's a new beginning.
Barbara St Jean
