Nancy, I have been absent for ages and just trying to re connect for a short while with my artist friends. I did not realize what a huge amount of images you now have, not far off 2,000 ! Could not imagine getting to such a number! I did not know where to go but the colors here drew me, and what a wondrous image this is! I see it's a photo, but it's just like a painting and is utterly lovely. I'm spellbound! I think it's the simplicity of the strikingly simple amber sky, green and graceful foliage and misty indigo blues ! Adore this ! You are so clever in that you can produce such a variety of fascinating work !
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Jane, it is wonderful to have this word from you. I have always painted small and even then I project my images bigger using a macro lens. I yearned to "go big" and finally this year succeeding in making a quite large Chinese garden with my brushes. 92 inches long. Lots of my friends saluted me. The photography continues to delight me and I am able now to change them to something painterly. Finally, the kids have left the "nest"...I have plenty of time to see where art will lead me. And I'm a bit embarrassed with how many images I have created, but there's no stopping me!!! Maybe I'm an illustrator and not an artist (but don't tell FAA). I love your work...just noticed you sold one of them but it was too late to comment. Congratulations..!!!

Lovely scene, wonderful processing! LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I've never tried anything so severe in the "processing" of trees. I was pleased with this bit of computer impressionism.

Beautiful Impression! L/F!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so very much, Johannes for your visit and comment. I played with Picasa to get these effects.
Karen Adams
Nancy, I LOVE what you did with this image! The sky is radiant! The colors give this such a magical feel!....fv
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I was amazed at the changes one can make with Picasa. You can continue to add effects until you nearly lose the photo entirely. I was amazed.
Meg Shearer
Gorgeous colors and textures! Magnificent landscape Nancy! l/f!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I am so in love with nature! My parents were also...so this has been a lifetime of admiration. I'm just discovering the joy of altering photos to reveal more of the essence and beauty of all that I love.
Nancy Kane Chapman
I once again give you my gratitude for including my art in IMAGES THAT EXCITE YOU. It's so special to have this notice. Many thanks, John.

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I love this stretch of water....a small inlet, part of the big river but more like a lake. So happy you liked my Picasa editing!

F/L You've made it even lovelier than it is in real life - how wonderful to have a place like this!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I took some photos of trumpeter swans here one year. This visit was so quiet, almost no birds....so the trees were the stars!
