/
Rocky Mountain by Deb Chaney (11” x 15”)
My original painting, Rocky Mountain, recently sold in April, and I would like to extend a deeply appreciative thank you to K. Robertson in Seattle for buying this original “little gem” mixed media work. It truly is a unique piece in my collection and I hope it is a welcome and treasured addition to yours.
The Power of Buying (and Selling) Art
When a patron buys original artwork, it has a profound impact on my career as an artist that goes far beyond the monetary. First and foremost, knowing that my art is connecting with someone, fuels my creativity and fosters inspiration. So your support means the world to me.
I remember the day I became an art collector. It was a Wednesday in December of 2007, and the painting was an Untitled piece by Houston-based artist Michelle Y. Williams. I was thrilled. So thrilled that I wrote about it here while reflecting on why people buy art.
I listed off a number of reasons for why I bought the painting, including everything from the satisfaction of supporting an artist achieve their dreams to the obvious aesthetic reason of adding beauty to my home. Just as (or more) importantly, it cultivated a deeper feeling of connection to both the artist and the gallery.
And what I wrote 15 years ago, still stands today. I would LOVE to hear from art collectors about why you chose a certain piece of artwork or what buying art means to you.
About This Artwork
Rocky Mountain is an essential part of my Little Gems Series, which is a collection of small, one-of-a-kind mixed media abstract paintings. I’ve been doing the series for years, using it as an avenue for technique exploration and a means of testing my creativity. Beginning as demos or projects in one of my workshops, a chosen few emerge to become real paintings!
At 11” x 15”, Rocky Mountain is a couple of inches longer and wider than most works in the series, which are typically 9” x 12”. The painting is a mixed media collage on paper.

I usually like to suggest a similar original artwork to look at, but Rocky Mountain is such a unique piece, that search proved to be a challenge. However, you can purchase a high-quality print of the painting here at Saatchi Art.
You can choose to have the print on paper or canvas and even have it sent to you already framed. And one of the great things about prints is that you have a choice of sizes–meaning you can get Rocky Mountain all the way up to 30” x 40”.
