Chantell Van Erbe - Fantasized Realism in Fine Art

 
 

The Colored Pencil Society of America Explore This! 5 2009 Online Exhibition.

Explore This! is an alternative exhibition designed with the intent of pushing artistic limits and encouraging experimentation. This online event gives artists the opportunity to feature works created with colored pencil coupled with mixed-media.

Just got word that my painting entitled Premonition has been accepted into this year's juried show. It's my first time in. Premonition (click on above image to enlarge) was rendered with a combo of colored pencil, acrylic, tempera and watercolor on pastel board.

The exhibition, artwork and award winners will be posted via CPSA's website on February 1, 2009. I'll post a link when it becomes available.

Congratulations, Chantell! I love the dark colors contrasting with the glowing light of the setting sun in this piece.

Congratulations, Chantell. I feel lucky to have seen this piece in our CPSA Chapter show in Bristol, RI a while back. It's an intriguing subject, and beautifully done.

Debbi,
Thanks again. It was my pleasure.
Yes, the poor piggy. He actually belonged to an eccentric neighbor of mine. The pig's fate was obvious but nevertheless, he lives on through my art...

I also remember your work from the Bristol, RI show. I was very impressed. So coming from an artist -talented as you are, your words mean a lot!
