Which One of These Paintings Has a Hidden Bridge?

/

Heart Opener by Deb Chaney (36” x 48” x 1.5”)

This post is to celebrate my continued partnership with Van Gogh Designs. I have 4 original pieces of abstract contemporary artwork featured in their beautiful showroom in White Rock, British Columbia. 

About these paintings

These original abstract paintings are on exhibit in the showroom, and the originals and prints are available for purchase.

The Writing Is In The Air - Gabriola is a watery blend of bluish-green, black, and white. This ink on canvas painting measures 40” x 30” x 0.5”.

Red Landscape has an earth-tone colour palette of umber, brownish-yellow, and a bit of grassy green. Layered in horizontal strips, the colours create a sense of depth as though looking across an autumn field beneath a sky of white and grey. The white outlines of a suspension bridge can be seen through the “fog”. It measures 48” x 36” x 1.5”.

Connection & Belonging has an earthy colour palette of light greens, yellows, and gold. Layers of sand give it texture while ruler-straight pencil lines connect numerous dots around the painting like a map, creating a sense of connection through cartography. This pencil-on-canvas painting measures 36” x 48” x 1.5”.

Heart Opener has a colour palette of striking pink under harsh layers of dark red bordered by deep purple and midnight blue. Bold and aggressive strokes and drips of bright white stand out against the painting’s dark foundation. This acrylic on canvas painting measures 36” x 48” x 1.5”.

New Original Artwork “Where (Forest and Beach) Become One”

/

Where (Forest and Beach) Become One by Deb Chaney (36” x 30’)

This post is to celebrate the completion of a new abstract artwork. My original painting Where (Forest and Beach) Become One is now available for sale on Saatchi Art. The original painting is still available to collectors and you can also purchase high-quality prints in a variety of sizes.

About This Painting

Before my (grown-up) daughter went travelling, she was living with me here on our beautiful little island, in the forest close to the ocean. We often shared these moments when what we needed most was – to just get out of the house! And this painting was inspired by one of our many on-island mini adventures.

One night we went to a beach that we adore and to get there we had to walk through the rainforest. It was dark outside and a million stars were shining down between the towering silhouettes of the trees. We stood on the beach, looking up through the treetops, and the place felt as though the ocean and the forest were becoming one.

This piece is designed to invite the viewer's imagination on a journey into nature. The abstract painting evokes a sense of landscape using a mix of earthy tones such as greens, blues, and browns, with hints of warm yellows and oranges.

The composition invites you to explore and contemplate the merging of these 2 distinct environments and encourages a sense of connection with the natural world – and the harmony to be found within.

New Original Artwork: Ho'Oponopono - Sepia

/

Ho'Oponopono - Sepia by Deb Chaney (30” x 40”)

This post is to celebrate and announce a recently completed new abstract painting, Ho'Oponopono - Sepia.

About This Painting

This painting was inspired by the story and power of Ho'oponopono, the Hawaiian shamanic prayer of reconciliation and forgiveness.

I was introduced to the book Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len in 2019. The book recounts the extraordinary true story of Hew Len’s healing work at a prison for the criminally insane, and how he transformed and healed the prisoners through using this prayer.

I was approached by a heart-centered craniosacral healer in Vancouver, BC who asked me to paint a deeply textured painting inspired by this prayer and its Hawaiian origins. I created 3 paintings for her to choose from, and the prayer – I'm sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you – is creatively integrated into them in a variety of ways. Two of the paintings now remain and are available to add to your own art collection: Ho'Oponopono - Blue and Ho'Oponopono - Sepia.

This painting possesses a grounding, earthy ambiance full of browns, umbers, and earth tones. These colours were applied with textured layers of ink, gels, and paper. Looking closely, you can see the prayer words of Ho’oponopono in the background, repeated over and over in typeface. The words are also etched into the paint and written in pencil and ink, in both cursive and stenciled block letters. Finally, the semblance of a tree form connects all of the words together.

There is a second Ho'oponopono - Sepia original painting that follows the same inspiration, and it is also available for your collection.
