My Thanks to the Collector of These 2 Paintings
/
Crossing Over i of ii by Deb Chaney (23” x 30”)
This post is to announce that 2 of my abstract paintings have been sold. I would like to extend a warm thank-you to Ms. Knowler of Burnaby, BC, Canada. I am deeply grateful for your becoming a collector of my original artwork and thank you for this.
About These Paintings
The complementary paintings are primarily composed of multiple layers of whites and greys. On top of these are dark, rusty reds in thick, gestural strokes creating a sense of aggressive motion. Layers of faint black handwriting can be seen in the background.
The heavily layered and textured paintings both measure 23” x 30”.
These paintings are part of my Fragments of Life Series. I began the series in 2013 and continue to work on it and evolve it to this day. Each painting is an echo of my own personal evolution and life journey.

About My Fragments of Life Series
I begin with a blank white sheet of roughly textured 23” x 30” 300-pound water colour paper, a palette knife, and some heavy body acrylic paint mixed with gel medium. And, most importantly, the compelling need to create.
When I begin I often don’t know what the painting is about. As the process evolves, I learn about the painting and myself. Each painting can be a culmination of up to 20-30 layers added and taken away, taking anywhere from a week to several months for a painting to reach completion.
During this time I am in a relationship with the art piece and I learn its meaning and significance, understanding what the painting has to teach me and show me. There is often contradiction and tension – fuel for the creative fire.
The blending and glazing of colours, the scratching and removing of paint to reveal under colours, the embedding of collage ephemera, the use of pencil and conte markings and scribblings all expressions of feelings of the beauty and the pain, the freedom and the frustration, the evolution and feelings of being stuck all encompassed in this journey of life.
These are the fragments of my life.
