Believe it or not this painting is not an original!

HFA just made a resin pour print of my painting 'Breathing Space' (c) Deb Chaney originally 60 inch by 40 in - the print here is a big bigger.

It's incredible this technology, it actually looks like the original and even better with the glossy finish!

I'm also super stoked to share that an interior designer just purchased it off the display wall!

So now you want your own resin pour print custom made? Please call HFA at 1.888.298.0731 to order your own.

You can order smaller prints on paper or canvas at: https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Breathing-Space/499285/4073238/view

Changing it up... A New Option for a Stuck Painting

SandingAcrylics.jpeg

One of my students who has been working together with me in the studio for some private sessions came to me stuck in process on a number of large paintings.

The one thing we noticed together as we looked through the stack of unfinished pieces was that she was tending to make the same marks and gestures, again and again. Adding more and more paint, but never accomplishing her goal to complete the piece. This is common in painting when we don’t stop, step back and ask ourselves; ‘How Can I do this Differently?’.

This same concept also applies to our lives. If we keep doing the same things again and again, we are likely to get the same results.

Our job is to change things up!

One recommendation we came up with together was instead of applying more paint, how about this time we remove paint.

Did you know that you can sand acrylics? Yup. They need to be dry and you can use paper sand paper or an electrical sander like I am doing here in the picture. I suggest you wear a mask, but its fun and can create some really cool effects and definite takes the painting down a whole new path!

To your creative success,

Deb

What happens when you love your daughter so much!

RuthsRoomWIthPainting.jpg

Recently my daughter decided to completely re-do her room. While she was in the renovation process, she came down to the studio and asked me if she could please put a painting of mine in her room. Let's just say I was totally taken aback in a good way... My teenage daughter wants to showcase my artwork in her room! Whoah! Biggest complement ever!

That said, we couldn't find anything to meet the colours she wanted: light green/turquoise, white and gold. So I ended up creating an original 24" x 24" piece here with dictionary collage pages of words she'd chosen embedded into it.

The piece is called 'Happy' and will be in Ruth's permanent collection, for which I'm honored! 24" x 24" x 1.5" Mixed Media on Canvas. (c) Deb Chaney 2018. I will be having prints made, they will be available through HFA Custom Fine Art Services in Vancouver and also on my website Saatchi Online Gallery in the near future.
