Abstracts: The Landscape of Emotion

Abstracts can reveal and/or conceal our emotional landscapes.

I've started a new series of large abstracts on canvas, working in a limited mixed-media palette. They are teaching me much more than I expected.

'Engaged' Gestural Abstract Painting by Elizabeth Chapman



'Engaged'
(Gestural #8, palette knife)

Acrylic on 5" x 7" canvas panel

This is a small study working from a photograph that I took at a local Japanese Garden.  A much in love young couple had stopped at this ledge and she was posing for a photograph that he was taking.  I was standing from the back side and thought of this as a painting and took a snap of it as well.  Perhaps a larger painting?
