Artist's Statement

I have painted every subject known to woman at this point, starting with marine art, coastals, seascapes, florals and landscapes en plein air (on location) I also painted portraits and figurative work and add it to my skills and eventually incorporate it into my Seascapes and Garden Scenes.  I am excited to see where it goes and how it evolves.   I have been painting water in all its various forms and moods for 39 years.  Join me in my exploration in paint.

Introduction Patreon - Chapin Studio Logs on to Patreon with VELPme Project

I’m opening up a channel on Patreon for my exploration of Maine,  a Video Exploration Log Painting Maine's Coast (VELP-ME).    I am super excited to launch the Patreon Chapin Page and to start growing this community of patrons.   I've loved water my entire life.  From fishing, competitive swimming and sailing to just watching the ocean as a professional artist.    Living in Maine will give me a unique perspective that is difficult to come by just visiting I'm building my studio and following my bliss, I never know where it might lead.   About 29 years ago I started getting really interested in plein air painting and combining that with my love of painting water, so I gave it a shot and I was hooked big time!   After 3 years of trying to move, and 39 years of wanderings I am beginning my journey of Maine through the eyes of an artist  venturing into video hoping to capture the soul of painting the sea in Maine...   My journey to Maine has followed many trails but everything coming together only confirms my belief that I am doing what I was meant to do.   My work has been seen in magazines, museums/galleries and auction houses all over the world.  It has often been a bumpy ride, my paintings have managed to travel to more ports of call than I have but I've enjoyed it all.   I have combined my passion with many other subjects and I love sharing beauty with the world.

Samples of what I started with for Patreon Chapin Page

1st of August I stretched a new canvas for a seascape .  Trying out another longer painting that with fit the composition I decided upon for the commission idea.   In the meantime.... I processed another video clip and added a little something.  Let me know what you think.  It's only 1:46 minutes long and it still won't fit up on Instagram.  So I've embedded here and on the  VELP-ME project, on my Patreon Page we're still free experimenting, and learning... more later check my Patreon Page

I processed a short video clip and added a little something. Part of my VELP-Me project and making lemonade out of lemons been a lot of fog this summer. Lazy days of summertime. Gives me ideas for seascape paintings. Maine Art, Bristol Maine, Pemaquid Point, Deborah Chapin ....
