Strikingly different! Same approach as I take with the majority of my abstracts, but I overlaid this one with sweeping large strokes of paint.  A willingness to take a risk.  The uncertainty comes from knowing that it is either going to make the painting or ruin it.  And yes, it's possible that it may not work. That's ok, because it may just lead to the next step that is going to bring that painting to it's fullest.

I was contacted through my Etsy shop and asked if I wouldn't consider painting a figurative abstract. It was from a very special time in which these siblings had been re-united while visiting a brother who was recovering from injuries while having been deployed.  I was puzzled as Etsy was not the place that I had done these, so...how did she know about them?  Later, she told me she had seen them on Instagram and had really like them. Would I do one for her?  Immediately, upon seeing the photograph ideas began to formulate. So, how could I not?  Although, these always do make me a bit nervous to paint I will.  Maybe it's because I don't want to offend anyone by the way I have abstracted them and because I know how special the photograph means to them. It's really more about capturing a feeling for the painting than a realistic representation.

I don't do these often enough and should as they've been well received. I have decided to begin a listing for them in my Etsy shop. It won't be on there for a few more weeks, so in the mean time if your reading and think you might be interested contact me: elizabethchapmanart@gmail.com

Fresh off the easel. Slipping another floral abstract into the inventory.  I was downstairs in my studio working on a figurative abstract commissioned piece when I decided to take a break. Coming up the stairs, I found this beautiful bouquet of purple and yellow irises sitting there on the table. Turned out, my mother-in-law had came by and dropped these flowers off.  She has what I believe to be one of the most beautiful floral gardens in our area. Right away, I knew I would be doing something artistic with these gems. I took pictures to work with later. 

As the day went along, I just kept thinking about these.  I had a canvas on the easel that I had started with a few days earlier, but had not progressed much.  I began thinking about how this arrangement would fit into that canvas. Well, that got it going.  I went and got the canvas brought it upstairs and began with a charcoal gesturally drawing. Of course, now I'm thinking about color. So, back down to the studio to paint. I took the bouquet with me.  As one thing led to the next, a painting had been completed on a day with no plans for this kind.

Hope to create a few more floral abstracts from Norma's garden this summer!
