Description
An imaginary view of Shangrila, the land depicted in the novel "Lost Horizon" (l933) by James Hilton described in the dictionary as a place where life approaches perfection. I've added so much housing that there may need to be urban intervention to keep the ideal. A funny idea by Nancy Kane Chapman.

Thanks, Stefano for featuring my digital work in 10 Plus. These are new skills for me and I'm just teaching myself how to paint with the computer. I'm delighted to have this new showcase for my more popular art!

How nice to see "Shangrila Housing" featured in WHAT Interrobang 1. It's a first for me...to paint paradise with urban concerns! Very fun and I'm appreciative that you have chosen my whimsical take on it. Thanks, Jim.

Lovely, Nancy. Surreal, other dimensional, peaceful, and highly spiritual. Reflects a vision/dream I had. lf

absolutely special Nancy. You might have found your niche here. l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks again for your good words, Bill. I do now have quite a bad back from sitting too long in the trance of the computer. May have to take a bit of a chiropractic holiday.

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Such a new venture, this digital world....and after years of doing very tight pen and ink geometric drawing, its lovely to push around whole clumps of pattern. Building landscapes and even...people!
Georgia Mizuleva
Wonderful work.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much, Georgia. I've found this program for cloning and making patterns and it's a fascinating journey into digital art.

Nancy, thank you for your reply. Yes, I recognized it as Tibet, and I love your mention of the 'extra housing'! I am going to share this painting (and your environmental awareness collection) with the class working on the Ideal City project!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
This is such exciting news, Elizabeth. I have never really sought an outlet for my environmental art and I've worried that I should have organized something so it could be useful. I'd be so glad to hear what response they have! Thank you!
Elizabeth Tillar
Nancy, I love this ideal city! (My students are working on a final project on the subject of the 'ideal city' in a course called Ultimate Questions!). This is a beautiful, incredibly impressive, detailed painting that reminds me of all that I love about Tibet! Extraordinary work! l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
It is Tibet...but I've engineered extra housing for the many devotees. It's really a bit of a pun...like we might ruin all utopia if too many of us get there!! Silly me. Thanks for your lovely comment.

I'm delighted to be featured in Digital Art with this fantasy landscape. Thanks so very much, Lori for this recognition and honor. It's a new world for me....and exciting to substitute the mouse for my paints and brushes!
