Can You Feel the Love and Joy in These Paintings?

Love by Deb chaney (9’ x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of 2 of my original abstract paintings. I am absolutely honoured to be mailing these contemporary artworks to San Diego, California. 

Their new owner is writer, speaker, and creativity workshop facilitator Jill Badonsky. Her book, The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard), is a wonderfully useful guide for creatives. 

Jill was my first mentor in the creative process and is the creator of the Kaizen-Muse creativity coaching program with Dr. Robert Maurer. I am beyond thrilled and excited that my paintings will be added to to art collection.

About these paintings

Both of these abstract paintings are acrylic on canvas. As you can tell by their titles, they share a common emotional tone and theme. 

Love is the more colourful of the 2 paintings, with striking squares of deep yellow and bold lines of bright red. Purple and white round out the colour palette with a flower and “love” playfully handwritten on the painting.

Joy has a lighter, more carefree colour palette of white, light yellow-orange, and peach layered over bits of dark red. The canvas is mostly white, with strokes through the paint creating an X's and O's board. A string of O’s loops along the bottom, while a larger one breaks the rules and sits upon the line between 2 empty squares. The word “JOY” is is stenciled in black in the bottom corner of the painting.

These paintings are part of my Litte Gems Series, pieces I create during my painting practice, when I’m teaching art lessons, and for my own fun and creative exploration.

About my Little Gems Series

My ongoing Little Gems Series is a collection of paintings that begin as practice pieces. I use them to hone my skills as well as explore and try out new techniques and ideas. 

Each painting in the series is bursting with the joy, love, and passion I feel in the studio. And all that energy and positivity is infused in every piece of artwork – which becomes my gift to you!

You can see more abstract paintings in the series here at Saatchi Art.

Original Painting "The Delight of Words and Paint i of iii" Sold

The Delight of Words and Paint i of iii By Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the recent sale of my original abstract painting, The Delight of Words and Paint i of iii. I would like to extend my gratitude and a big thank you to Suzanne of British Columbia, Canada.

Thank you, Suzanne, for becoming a collector of original artwork. I am sold glad that you found (and love!) this Little Gems painting. It has truly been a delight connecting with you and establishing this connection through art.

About This Painting

As you can tell by the title, this is part of a series of 3 paintings. They were created while I was teaching a 3-day mixed media abstract painting workshop at the Pacific Northwest Art School on Whidbey Island in Washington State. 

I was sharing with the class techniques for layering, incorporating elements of collage while giving attention to the use of space and applying marks with mindful repetition. I am always grateful for this class at this beautiful location which I hold so dear to my heart. 

The painting uses space to create a tranquil and ethereal sense of airy openness. Darker forest greens contrast with lighter, mossy greens and white. Small repetitive squares, concentric circles, and gesture marks create motion on top of typeset words collaged below.

As mentioned above, this abstract painting is included in my Little Gems Series, which are small paintings that I create to try new techniques and practice old ones. And, of course, for fun.
