Are You Longing for Petals in the Winter?

Longing for petals in the winter by Deb Chaney (11” x 15”)
This post is to announce that one of my original abstract paintings is now available for sale along with high-quality prints in various sizes. As the title of the post suggests, the painting is called Longing for petals in the winter.
About this painting
This mixed-media abstract painting consists of acrylic paint, gesso, collaged book pages in English and Chinese, and calligraphy.
Look carefully within the collaged text of this painting and you will see at least 3 things: a poem, a page from a dictionary, and the title page from a mathematics book.
Something I love to do is collage in old book pages, poems, and dictionary pages, and then find a word or sentence to inspire and guide the painting. In this case, it also became the title of the painting.
The colour palette of this contemporary abstract expressionist painting is dark greens, white, and light grey with a few areas of dark greys and black. The verdant forest green is trapped beneath the whiteness of the snow, while strong gestural strokes add a sense of upward motion striving to emerge.
This painting measures 11” x 15” and is part of my Little Gems Series, which I use for testing new techniques and practicing old ones. High-quality reproductions in a variety of sizes and canvases are available through Saatchi Art online.
