Paintings....randomly uploaded....

I paint my dreams.Sometimes quiet...
Sometimes barren.Strength.Peace.
This one is huge, nearly four feet tall.
Autumn's cloak.Vulnerable.
Humid summer night.                              Run away with me...

Danielle said...

I want vulnerable! That is one of many of my favorites.

Therese said...

Talented woman. These make me want to come over and sip wine while I admire. If ever I had a fund for my heart's desires, I would be making offers!

Irish Gumbo said...

Okay, I'll run away :)

These are impressive and attractive. Bravo! (bowing)

Forgot to say, I really like Autumn's Cloak. Wow.

Thank you all! I haven't painted during the winter as my studio gets rather frigid. (I sketch madly and watercolor when it's cold) But it's time now. I think I'll spend tomorrow elbow deep and drenched in music. (it's the best way to forget the world and disappear into my dreams)

Leslie said...

Your dreams are exceptionally beautiful...

Unknown said...

These are amazing!!

Chantel said...

Thank you Camille! I haven't posted any of the new ones in quite some time, but perhaps I will... :)

Shea Goff said...

Just now seeing these. Stunning, Chantel! (now I'm a bit jealous)

Chantel said...

Shea--thank you so much, I've not painted since the fall--my studio is cold in the winter. Dreaming of oceans and the forest green...

I've never noticed this link until now... ...could it be new?

You should get a flickr account so that anyone interested in paying you to use your images can approach you and so everyone else can enjoy your art as much as we do!

Chantel said...

Adam--oh, it's been here for ages, but who really looks at things that don't just pop-up in sparkles and jingle on your screen, right? lol

And I have NO idea how flickr works--totally tech challenged here!

Shelly said...

You are so amazingly talented, my friend. Creativity oozes from you~

Chantel said...

What an awesome compliment, Shelly, thank you! These are all at least a year old, I keep forgetting to update it. lol Perhaps that will be my new project...

Thank you Kimy! Life without dreams, what would that be? :)

How could I just now find these? -! As beautiful as your words! You've got more talent in your elbow than most people do in their entire bodies. -If that made sense.
LOVE these. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
The Strength tree. That's one I'll be dreaming about - so perfect!

Chantel said...

J--Thank you, what a huge compliment--especially coming from you! xo

Intense Guy said...

Beautiful!

You have a style that strips away the "unnecessary" and the "excess" to reveal the inner core of your subject. I'm no painter (I take an occasional "nice photo") but I realize just how difficult your art is to bring into being.

Thank you Karl! What an insightful observation...perhaps that's why I paint over so much of my work, unsatisfied that I cannot see the whole soul?
