Can You See Freedom Soar in This Painting?

Occupational Freedom by Deb Chaney (11” x 15”)
I’m excited to announce that one of my original abstract paintings is now available for sale along with high-quality prints in various sizes. The painting is titled Occupational Freedom.
How I chose the title of this painting
If you look closely within the collaged text of this painting, you will see a page of words from the dictionary which includes one of the words in the title.
Something I really love doing is to collage old book pages, poems, and dictionary pages and then find a word or sentence to inspire and guide the painting. In the case of this particular contemporary artwork, it also became the title of the painting.
About this abstract painting
This mixed-media abstract painting on paper is made with acrylic paint, pencil, gesso, and collaged book pages.
The colour palette of this contemporary abstract expressionist painting is a vibrant ocean blue with large areas of pure black, grey, and white. Strong gestural strokes create a sense of movement. In the lower-right corner, a soaring bird stenciled in black—with its own distinct space to fly—juxtaposes the strictly regimented pages of a dictionary.
This little painting is part of my Little Gems Series, which I use for testing new techniques and practicing old ones. The original is available for purchase, as are high-quality prints in a variety of sizes and formats, through Saatchi Art online.
