Original Artwork "The Lost Poem" Sold

The Lost Poem by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of my original abstract artwork, The Lost Poem. It was recently purchased by Ms. Jackson of Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada. I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks and appreciation that you have chosen to add my painting to your collection.

About This Painting

This painting was inspired by the idea of old writings – texts and books and poems – being lost for long periods of time and how they are often full of ancient wisdom and insights. When we finally discover these lost writings, it is like striking cultural gold.

The abstract painting features a rich tapestry of colours, textures, and expressive brushstrokes that come together harmoniously on the canvas. The main colours are gold and blue, with many tones and hues of each. Exploring the canvas, you will discover azure, cobalt, cerulean, turquoise, and more, contrasting with amber, lemon, and other yellows.

Layers of acrylic paint have been applied to multiple layers of collage with pages from old books, textured corrugated cardboard, and gold leaf, resulting in a complex and multidimensional surface.

Original Artwork “Full Moon Frog Pond” Sold

Full Moon Frog Pond by Deb Chaney (8” x 10”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of original artwork from my Full Moon Frog Pond series of paintings. I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Mrs. Bev McNicoll of British Columbia, Canada for her purchase of the painting Full Moon Frog Pond #02-003. I’m so excited that you love this piece and I’m eager to see the frame you choose and where you place this unique, little deckled edge painting in your home. Thank you for becoming a collector.

About This Painting

This painting is part of a series in which I collaborated with composer Gregory Rosa to create a special edition collection of “pieces of the pond”. A few of these paintings were made available with a limited edition Full Moon Frog Pond CD. You can sample the music that accompanies the art on Gregory Rosa’s website here: http://www.gregoryrosa.com/. 

The painting’s colour palette consists of many hues of green – from dark to light to mossy to turquoise. The grassy greens give a sense of a verdant marsh or pond, while the large, textured blue-green circle emerging from the upper corner elicits a closeup of a frog’s eye.

Its many layers add a tactile quality to the painting, creating an engaging visual experience. The composition is rich with depth and complexity, inviting the eye to explore every corner of the canvas and see it in different ways. For example, bold straight lines of black ink alongside lighter squiggles elicit an aerial view far removed from the closeup perspective.

The Universe is Your Sanctuary i

The Universe is Your Sanctuary i by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate my newly completed original artwork, The Universe is Your Sanctuary i. The original painting is available for purchase online through Saatchi Art. High-quality prints are also available for your collection.

About This Painting

This painting is the first in a series of 3 paintings that are part of my larger series, known as my Little Gems Series. These paintings are my practice pieces, small artworks that I use to explore new methods and ideas and practice old ones.

Each piece of artwork that becomes a Little Gem is infused with the joy, love, and passion I feel in the studio. That energy is imbued into the painting and is my gift to you, the collector!

The 9” x 12” painting is acrylic on loose canvas.

At first glance, it’s like looking into deep space through the Hubble telescope, as the painting exudes a sense of cosmic energy and celestial wonder. Sacred geometry intermingles with stars against a striking black-and-white composition layered with splashes of rich blues, teals, and magenta, conjuring the depths of the universe. Together the colours create a harmonious symphony of tones to evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility.

Evoking the vastness of the universe, the abstract artwork invites contemplation and introspection. It would particularly make a great addition to any room where you’re looking to ignite your imagination.

Original Artwork Clearing Fear Sold

Clearing Fear by Deb Chaney (36” x 48”)

This is a post to celebrate the sale of my original artwork. I would like to extend a warm thank you to the Florida-based interior design firm, LC Designs, for purchasing my mixed media abstract painting Clearing Fear. I am very excited to see where this artwork is placed and I am truly grateful for your choosing my image for your interior design installation.

About This Painting

This painting is about “living above the line”. This is a lifestyle concept for well-being in which we choose mindful compassion and loving kindness in our behaviour and being. It rejects living “below the line”, which has us acting out of reaction, with hatred, jealousy, vengeance, or anger.

Living in this place of love requires conscious awareness. And I believe we must practice this elevated way of being, using all possible resources to remain there. This painting Clearing Fear is vibrationally imbued with the intention and sense of recognizing and accepting your fears, then releasing them to wash away.

This large-scale artwork measures 36” x 48” x 1.5”. The spiritually inspired painting is heavily textured and consists of the colours of white, gold, light blue, and eggshell.

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.

New Original Artwork: What goes around comes Around

What goes around comes around by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of my new original abstract artwork, What goes around comes around. The one-of-a-kind original painting is now available for purchase at Saatchi Art online. High-quality prints are also available in a range of sizes.

About This Painting

For the past couple of years, since 2021, I have been in the process of working on a series of very large format paintings I call my Drishti Paintings. I have put a tremendous amount of thought and intention into these paintings. On top of that, working on such large canvases, with layers of mediums and sand, is a lengthy process. One layer must dry before I can add, or take- away, the next layer.

In the meantime, I often add to my Little Gems series of paintings, such as this one, to use extra paint and to allow myself some playtime with a quick and satisfying finished end product.

The title of this painting will be relevant to anyone who knows me personally and is privy to the down point in my life at this time. Not everyone in the world is kind or acts in ways that feel good to us. But I figure “what goes around comes around”. And so does Justin Timberlake.

This playful abstract painting feels uplifting with bright and sunny colours like orange and tangerine. Large, swooping circles and gestures in whites and blacks add movement and a sense of vitality to the painting.

As mentioned above, this painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a series of small paintings that are created for fun as well as for testing new techniques and practicing old ones.

New Original Artwork: Re-Claiming II of II

Re-Claiming II of II by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate my new original abstract painting, Re-Claiming II of II. The original painting as well as high-quality prints are now available to add to your art collection.

About This Painting

This painting captures the energy of our third chakra, also known as the Manipura Chakra, which is the energy centre that determines how we go about owning our personal power. Located in the region of our body around the navel, it is also called the solar plexus chakra. The affirmation to unlock and heal this chakra is “I Am Powerful”.

The painting is called Re-Claiming because I painted this while working a day job in the paint department of our local hardware store. Whenever my three-day work week came to an end, I would rest, then find myself consciously reclaiming my creative practice and getting back into the studio.

This painting is in support of you reclaiming your own creative flow.

This mixed-media on-paper painting is part of my Little Gems Series, which are my practice pieces. They are small-scale studies to explore new ideas and practice old ones. Just as musicians do vocal exercises or practice their scales, this is how a painter practices, so to speak. They are infused with the joy, love, and passion that I feel in the studio, and that energy is imbued into the painting – my gift to you!

The dominant colour in this painting is deep, bright yellow, which is bold and textured, to create a sunny, uplifting flow. Stark black brushstrokes and shadows add more texture, giving it further depth. With a sense of playfulness, adventure, and energy, it can add warmth and vitality to either your living or work space.

New Original Artwork: Becoming II of II

Becoming II of II by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of my new original abstract painting titled Becoming II of II. 

About This Painting

This is the second piece in my pair of Becoming paintings. As mentioned in the previous post about the first painting, during the creative process of these paintings, I contemplated my journey of becoming an artist. This involved reflecting on how my journey began and recalling the sense of flow and fun that I experienced each step of the way.

Years back, while living in California, I participated in the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show along the waterfront. A painting titled Nouveau Monde was one of the first that I completed, and I actually sold it quite quickly after it was finished. It truly made me feel like I was on my way to becoming the artist I wanted to be.

Prints of the Nouveau Monde are available for purchase online here:

https://www.saatchiart.com/print/Painting-Nouveau-Monde-ii-of-ii/499285/4079403/view

The pink-gold colours in Becoming II of II are reminiscent of my earlier painting, Nouveau Monde. The same is true for the composition’s simplicity and the lines, though stronger, crossing the canvas. Similar to Becoming I of II, it resembles an aerial view of the ocean and the beach, although with a smaller, slightly more turbulent sea. Its subtle energy has a delicateness to it, which is something we feel when we are beginning a new experience or chapter in our lives.

This mixed-media-on-paper painting measures 9” x 12” and is part of my Little Gems Series paintings.

This post is to celebrate the completion of my new original abstract painting titled Becoming I of II. 

About This Painting

Throughout the creative process, while painting this abstract artwork, I contemplated my journey of becoming an artist. I reflected on how it all began and remembered the sense of flow and fun that I experienced each step of the way.

Years ago, when I was living in California, I took part in the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show along the waterfront.

The pink-gold colours in Becoming I of II are reminiscent of that earlier painting, as are the simplicity of composition and thin horizontal lines dragging lazily across the canvas. It resembles an aerial view of the ocean and the beach. Its calm, subtle energy has a delicateness to it, which is something we feel when we are beginning a new experience or chapter in our lives.

New Original Artwork: The Matrix

The Matrix by Deb Chaney (16” x 16”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of a new original artwork called The Matrix. Both the original artwork and prints are available for purchase.

About This Painting

This painting was inspired by the opening credits of the movie The Matrix, in which bright, neon green computer code rains down the screen. Letters and numbers continue to fall from the “computer sky”, and this effect inspired the alphanumeric-like marks on this painting.

Blue is the dominant colour in this painting – with hues like sky blue, azure, cerulean, cyan, and indigo – where it is the colour of both the sky and the sea. The painting is integrated with layers of bright gray and iridescent, lustrous silver, with hints of purples like indigo amethyst.

The square painting has a vertical composition, and words are written sideways in black with gestures and cursive text that flows up the canvas. The overall geometric patterns are reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs in contrast to the more modern cursive text.

Original Painting “Stars Shining in the Daytime” Sold

Stars Shining in the Daytime by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the recent sale of my original abstract painting titled Stars Shining in the Daytime. It has been shipped to its new home in Liverpool, United Kingdom! I would like to extend a huge thank you and much love and gratitude to the collector, Ms. Tavriger. 

About This Painting

This painting was created during a live demonstration for a workshop called “Creating Encaustic Effects with Acrylics”. It was specifically created to show transparent and translucent layering techniques with texture in order to share this with my students. Materials used include acrylic, collage, oil sticks, polymer mediums, and pencil.

In the photo below you can see where I’ve written on the back of the painting explaining how the layers were applied.

Back of Canvas of Stars Shining in the Daytime by Deb Chaney

With its beautiful layers of sacred geometry-inspired star patterns and playful typewritten text, this ethereal piece of abstract artwork possesses a magical and child-like energy. The soft pastel colours with white, beige gold, and turquoise create a gentle, spiritual atmosphere. 

This painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a prolific series of small paintings that are created for fun, with joy, and for creative practice.

New Original Artwork: Love Letter to Myself

Love Letter to Myself by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate a new original artwork called Love Letter to Myself becoming available for purchase. Its prints are also now available to order online.

About This Painting

This painting was inspired by the cultivation of self-love. I started by typing a love letter to myself and printing it out on very large paper. I then collaged and integrated the printed text with handwritten and painted words in multiple layers of the painting. It was created for and during an online workshop I conducted during the pandemic called “Mastering Mixed Media Abstract Painting”. More details on the process of creating this painting can be found in my previous blog post.

This painting has 2 main colours — ultramarine violet and yellow iron oxide. With hues such as lavender and periwinkle, light purple is the dominant colour. Spiritually, purple is associated with the crown shakra, which is the energy centre of the top of the body. The colour is associated with a sense of belonging and connection, and the knowledge that we are all divine.

Light yellow supports the purples with shades of amber and gold, while text, both typed and handwritten, is embedded within layers of the painting.

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.

Commissioned Artwork: Michelle’s Drishti Painting

Michelle’s Drishti Painting by Deb Chaney (48” x 36”)

This post is to celebrate a commissioned painting I recently completed in 2021. I’d also like to share that I offer commissioned artwork and that the commission in-take form is available online here: https://www.debchaney.com/commissions. 

About This Painting

This abstract artwork was inspired by healing affirmations, with carefully chosen colours, and a grounding texture of local sand. Each element was specifically selected with the support of the patron who commissioned this Drishti Painting. 

The overall inspiration behind all of my Drishti Paintings is to create a healing piece of artwork to enrich the owner’s meditation practice. Therefore, the meaning and significance of this painting are personal to its owner.

This Dristhi Painting is a heavily layered and textured landscape abstract painting. It integrates small and large Flower Of Life symbols from sacred geometry, which represent the positive effects of connection on our personal well-being. The painting is calming yet bold, with shades of turquoise, gold, and deep red-orange colours.

As a commissioned painting, the original has been sold, but prints are available here:

New Original Artwork: Understanding Statistics

Understanding Statistics by Deb Chaney (60” x 40”)

New Original Artwork: Understanding Statistics

 This post is to announce that prints are now available for Understanding Statistics, the new original abstract painting I recently completed.

About This Painting

The inspiration for this painting came to me on a rainy day in December. I was strolling along the beach at the edge of UBC’s campus and came across a damp and tattered textbook called Understanding Statistics. At first, it represented the misery of first-year university survey courses. But then it spoke to me and I recognized the beauty in math and how much it relates to abstract expressionism. (See my earlier blog post for more on how I found and came to embrace this book.)

The painting is a very modern contemporary art piece. The colours include light ochre yellow hues as well as black, white, and grey text elements. It has an edgy feeling to it and a slightly sarcastic tone, as a university textbook with the same title as the painting – Understanding Statistics – has been torn into pieces, then reconstructed into a mixed-media collage painting of abstract construction. 

The original painting measures 60” x 40” x 1.5” and is available for purchase here:

Original Painting “The Flower Cup ii” Sold

The Flower Cup ii by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of my original abstract painting The Flower Cup ii. It was bought by a collector at the art exhibit I did with Sara Graeme last summer at the Free Spirit Gallery on Gabriola Island.

About This Painting

The inspiration for this painting came during the summer when I saw a woman enjoying her coffee in an eye-catching cup, sitting outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. The beautiful demitasse was covered in flowers, and this scene of the woman, her cup, and the flower beds near the gallery in full bloom, inspired my small series of Flower Cup paintings.

This exuberant abstract acrylic painting boasts vivid purples, violets, magentas, and yellows. The bright colours, swirling brush strokes, and white space create a joyful, uplifting mood.

This painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a prolific series of small paintings that are created for fun, with joy, and for creative practice.

Original Painting “The Gold is Deep Within” Sold

The Gold is Deep Within by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of my original abstract artwork The Gold is Deep Within. It was the first painting purchased during my collaborative art exhibit with Sara Graeme last summer at the Free Spirit Gallery here on Gabriola Island. The collector is someone who has been a wonderful supporter of both me and my career.

About This Painting

The inspiration behind this mixed-media abstract painting came about during a workshop I conducted. I was showing the group layering techniques using collage. I used pages ripped from old books for the ground and for the sky, I applied staining and watercolour effects using acrylics.

The painting is a simple abstract landscape with a calming effect that grounds the viewer with blue for the sky and gold for the earth.

This painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a prolific series of small paintings that I create for fun, joy, and creative practice.

Original Painting “Come on Over” Sold

Come on Over by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the sale of this original mixed-media abstract painting, Come on Over. It was purchased during the Gabriola Thanksgiving Studio Tour that I was part of last November. I didn’t get a chance to meet them, but I’d like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the art collector who purchased the painting.

About This Painting

This painting was inspired by a beautiful tissue paper collage I received as a gift from someone, which had black lines similar to those down the centre of the painting. The transparent attribute of the black tissue paper allowed me to add it to the artwork while revealing the images on the layers beneath it. I really enjoyed working with this transparency and what it allowed me to do in this collage piece, which also includes text. 

There is a lot of playfulness in this painting, which was done for a workshop to demonstrate collaging and integrating paint into a piece of artwork.

The colour is a yellow ochre, also known as an earthy yellow or Naples yellow, so the painting definitely has earthy tones. These are combined with blacks, whites, and greys, and a very playful, gestural feeling is created using spheres, circles, and lines. There are also torn dictionary pages embedded into layers throughout different parts of the painting.

This painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a prolific series of small paintings that are created for fun, with joy, and for creative practice.
