  • I’m currently working on the composition possibilities for a moonrise piece. I’m going to attempt to do a live piece on location the next moonrise opportunity. I’m estimating September 12th. If you’re in the area and want to join me check out the details on my homepage. Instagram won’t let me do a direct link but use the bio link to my website and scroll down to moonlight story or click on the button to see me paint 🌝 light. The on location painting will undoubtedly be different and by then I should know the subject pretty well. @deborahchapin #visitmaine #maineisgorgeous #themainemag#visitmaine #mynewengland #mainething #moonlightpainting
  • WIP. Well the Full moon was everything is purported to be. I’ll be back out there next go around. Started a sketch for a larger piece and then I’m going to just jump right in. Will keep you posted. Can’t wait to see how it comes out. There were loads of people keeping me company last night. For those of you who haven’t seen a moon rise from the horizon it is quite a spectacular site I had never seen it because most the time you’re either surrounded by mountains trees or something else so the only place to see a moon rise at the horizon would be the ocean or desert someplace where you could actually see the horizon. This leaves out everyone who lives in the mountains, everyone who lives in a tree environment and everyone who lives in a city. So the moon rose just left of Monhegan Island last night and if you look carefully you can see the outline of Monhegan Island. The glitter that goes on the waves doesn’t come until a little later. The whole process took about 20 minutes. - - - - - #moonrise #pemaquidpoint #deborahchapin #bristolstudio @deborahchapin #mynewengland #maineisgorgeous #visitmaine #wip
  • I’ve been working real hard and we’ve had company so I’m a little bit behind where I want to be, again… But I went out to see the moon last night on the coast. Tonight it’s full so I’m giving it another try. I decided I wanted to try painting a moonlit seascape so I went out to see what the possibilities were. I think there will be a lot of memory work involved. But I have this idea and I’d like to see it develop so I’m going to give it a try. I’m going out again to see if I can capture the moonrise a little earlier. Learn what I can learn. Weather’s gorgeous. @deborahchapin Midcoast Maine #velpme

  • In 2004 my mom and I took a trip to Acadia and rented a house nearby. We invited the NAPPAP (plein air painters group) to stay with us to paint the coast. My mom posed for this piece and hiked the coast of Maine with me. This painting toured with the Arts for the Parks exhibition. 15 years later she hasn’t been well most of the summer. She’s 95 so it’s been a worry. Just goes to show you should make the most of all your opportunities. Carpe Diem. Heads up!!! Looking promising for a rock and roller .... crossing my fingers. - - - - - - - - - - #pleinairpainter #pleinairmarine #paintingonsiteseascape #seascapepaintings #artstudio #enpleinair #seascape #art #mainecoast #VELPme #womenartist #maineart #oilpainting #flashbackfriday #deborahchapin #bristolme #mainestudio #maineartist #pleinairpainters #mainemarineart #maine_igers #maineart #maineartist http://Patreon.com/deborahchapin http://gallery.deborahchapin.com #bristolme @deborahchapin
  • WIP a quintessentially summer weather painting calling it "Summertime", a new Seascape painting from Pemaquid Harbor near my Bristol Maine studio. Part of my wanderings around the peninsula. This one is part of my VELPme Project when I am finished I'll do a photo evolution instead of a video. I've been trying to get a seascape with rocks and rollers but I think I'll have to wait till fall brings us a little more action. Not that I'm complaining about the stretch of beautiful weather mind you.... About the Process: I have been exploring and videoing various locations looking at them in different times of the day and discovering the best time (IMO) for painting the subject. The lighting, the tide and eventually the season. I imagine one location explored in this way will yield many paintings, as this has been my method in other locations and it has yielded anywhere from 50-60 pieces out of one spot. Many artists have done this. Winslow Homer did this with Prout's Neck. It’s how I painted my moonrise piece. What you can't see is the artist's mind at work, ie the paintings going on in the gray matter, and then the trial and error process that results in the final piece. I have done series of pieces, painting at the exact same location at the exact same time of day until I know the location like the back of my hand (I'll try to do a Flashback Friday with a series if I can find the materials) When I do this I discover that the refinement of the subject matter comes from repetitive observation and eventually I arrive at "the" piece. This is particularly useful in painting larger works on site during a summer. I haven't quite reached that place in my work here yet because I am still finishing up the studio ugh and also had family issues to take care of but I anticipate that will start to kick in soon. * * * * * #womenartist #maineart #artstudio #artgallery #chapinmarineart #velpme #deborahchapin #oilpaintings #boatpaintings #marinepainting #harborpaintings
  • Hi guys. WIP I stretched a new canvas and trying another longer piece that fits the composition I decided on for the commission idea. But in the meantime... I processed another video clip for you from a pre-dawn excursion in the fog and added a little something. I tried to create the feeling of not knowing what I’d find of groping my way to the shoreline. In the fog things are murky but also dreamlike. Let me know what you think. It’s only a minute and 46 seconds long but still won’t fit up on Instagram so I’ve uploaded it to Patreon if you want to see the longer version. :-) Link in my Bio. Or on my website gallery.deborahchapin.com. If bio doesn’t work like Instagram mostly doesn’t it’s just Patreon.com/deborahchapin no mystery. Still free since I’m still working out the kinks. Like the link. Getting in the mood. - - - - - - #enpleinair #pleinair #seascape #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #maineart #bristolme #pemaquid #videoexperiment #art #mainecoast #VELPme #rockycoast #summertime #artstudio #womenartist @deborahchapin see more about supporting the lighthouses @mainelighthousetrust
  • Flashback Friday a little late. This is a clip from a longer film which I remastered and put up on the Patreon site (the link is on my bio) painting on location a marine 21 x 34 titled “Les Vagues”. The finished piece is up on my website and is available for sale.

  • #flashbackfridays This is a short clip showing me setting up at low tide among the rocks to paint a tidal pool. Flashback Friday post to show how far #video and communications have come since 1993 when this was #filmed and to demonstrate the conditions under which #pleinairpainters work. #mainemarineart #maine_igers #maineart #maineartist http://Patreon.com/deborahchapin http://gallery.deborahchapin.com #bristolme #deborahchapin @deborahchapin
