"Emerge"

"Emerge" 

Alcohol Ink on Mineral Paper

Size: 9x12"

I am so excited to share that I just received confirmation that I have been chosen to SOLO Exhibit my work for the entire summer at The Footlights Theatre in Falmouth, Maine!
Special thanks to my dear friend and artist Bonnie for sending me the information. <3 font="">

Here's my note I just received: 


"Hello Kellie- Congratulations!

Well, with over 30 entries for consideration, we would love to have you "take over" the entire theatre lobby with your fabulous art work. When is the earliest you could hang your work? We have a show coming in on the 2nd of June for that weekend, then we resume our current show thru the 15th of June, followed by the opening of our summer show on the 27th of June thru August 31st. Plus we have a multitude of events throughout the summer." 

I'll be making a visit there next week to see the space and get things going. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to before I set up, so I've been painting all weekend long.  Just when you feel that you have enough art!

So I"m calling this one "emerged", as I have emerged from the Maine's winter snow and ice into spring! The trees are blooming, the birds are singing, and my bird feeder is full with many new visitor.  Let the painting and preparations begin!
Since they would like colors - as it is a theater, I"m opening up my abstract side. I'll be showing some of my newest resin pieces as well as the alcohol Inks. I'll be ordering the Larger Art Resin today in hopes to get it soon as I'll be using up my new gallon jug!  

I will be scheduling an Artist reception soon and I'm looking forward to seeing so many folks that have been in hibernation. We are like little bears here in Maine. 

For the painting above I used a white gel pen and an air compressor. You can find out more information about the compressor on my past blog post.

Decisions on abstracts - Which way is UP?

Option 1 

"Birth of Spring" - $125 

Artist Kellie Chasse 

Alcohol Ink On Yupo Paper - 9x12" 

 Leaf trying to push the last of the beautiful colorful bud from the flower to emerge full and strong.

Always the hard part with abstract paintings, which way is up? Tell us your ideas on this. I've numbered the options for you to choose, just leave a comment below with your ideas.

As an artist do you make the decision on your contemporary art or let your client? Do you sign yours?

Option 2 - These are all from the same painting. I love the gold in here but also the softness around the edges and the contrast between the two. 

Or as a art collector would you prefer to not have the artist sign the work on the front so you can choose to display it the way you see it? 

Option 3 - Some pieces are cropped and can easily be matted to a smaller 8x10" Frame.

To create this painting I used the Masters Airbrush again along with the Watercolor Pens filled with my own home made Alcohol Ink blending solution.

Tulip Whispers - Choosing Mat Colors

 

Black Matting

 

White Matting

I have the hardest time choosing Mat colors and frames for my work. Guess it's such a personal thing. I know that a lot of artist will let the client pick..good idea huh! I decided to post both for you to look at.

Funny when I posted my newest painting of  "Tulip Whispers" on Daily Paint Works I noticed a number of Tulip painting on there for today....guess we artists are in a similar SPRING mood today.

Ok, I'm totally digging this loose painting style! This cute little rabbit is hiding in amongst the wildflowers and sweet smelling grasses. He doesn't think we can see him...but we can.

Good news...the first day of spring was yesterday although I'm not sure Mother Nature was in tune with that, she dumped another 8-10"'s of snow on us!

Here's to spring  and cute and fuzzy bunnies!

 Happy Painting
