Many thanks, Stefano for this feature of The Dry Trees in 10 Plus. I'm so glad to have this extra audience for my art. I really appreciate this honor and opportunity.
Aline Halle-Gilbert
This is gorgeous Nancy , congradulations for your feature in the group The Gallery Wall !
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Aline. I'm always proud when I get a feature. It's such a great feeling!
Nancy Kane Chapman
You are so great to give me this praise. I'm late to take art seriously and really work at it....so it's good to know I'm able to produce work which is intelligent and pretty enough so that the viewer stays around for the message. Thanks, Maggie!
Maggie Terlecki
Oh, Nancy. Your imagery is so abstract but you always get your idea across so incredibly well. Without reading the description, it felt like trees being engulfed by flames, and of course, it is exactly that. You are incredibly talented and such a pleasure for me to congratulate you on your feature in the Gallery Wall! Maggie
CJ Anderson

Wow! Amazing realism, I can feel the heat immediately, such a wonderfully creative mind you have Nancy!.....l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
It's amazing to me that I begin to paint an abstract and it moves very quickly to realism. My art has evolved into story telling....or illustration.
Joyce Dickens
So gorgeous Nancy! Your creativity is wonderful as is your outstanding use of color - you have created such wonderful depth here; and the atmosphere is magical...just like being there in the forest during the heat of the day...and the tragic fires - California is in a world of trouble thanks to the drought and if this winter does kick in and do its thing; next year and the years to follow are going to even more devastating....beautiful artwork my friend!!! :-))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
This is a strong message for me to keep going. In all my years of doing art, most of it was for beauty, for decoration, for composition and to emulate all of the artists I loved so much. This new technique (acrylic, credit card, macro photography) is an amazing tool and suddenly I'm able to illustrate narratives!
Laurie Search
Oooh, yes, you really created the feeling of a forest fire here, Nancy!! So tragic and beautiful....and a wonderful eulogy to those poor trees!!!! :)))vf
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Have been playing with illustration ideas rather than "fine" art. I began a series on drought and ended with this ...result.
Wayne Moran
Amazingly creative.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Many thanks, Wayne. We lived in California for twenty years and I am so distressed with the drought and the many fires!
Heather King
I'm speechless dear Nancy:) This is over the top mind blowingly beautiful FV/L
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
You are so kind. I spent 20 years in California and I'm so upset with this drought. And, of course, the fires.
Nancy Kane Chapman
I am so grateful for your support for my art. Thanks, Ramon for featuring this painting in your group.
Nikki Dalton
Stunning photography Nancy! love the deep amber tones and abstract feel! A beauty! FL
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Again, a painting developed with acrylic and a credit card. Like painting with palette knife, but a broader surface.
Lenore Senior
Wow!!! Gorgeous! Love it and the touches of orange and green. Awesome!! v/f!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thank you, Lenore. It is so different to do narrative art. I like being an illustrator!
Mother Nature
So very beautiful, even amid the drought and fires. I'm in awe of your work!!!!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
You are just too kind, Carol. I create work on the wave of all of this encouragement!! Thanks so much.
S S-ray
Wish for rain. Beautiful picture.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
i do but the trees, especially the giant sequoias, are so compromised, so dry.
RC DeWinter
Oh, nice digital brushwork, l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I used a credit card to push the acrylic! Then I relied on Picasa to tone the color.
