Can You See What's 'Happy' in This Abstract Painting?

Happy by Deb Chaney (24” x 24”)

I’m happy to share that my original abstract painting Happy was sold. I’m truly honoured and thrilled that it is now part of someone’s art collection.

About this painting

This painting was originally created when my 15 year old daughter, Ruthie– who was enthusiastically re-decorating her room at the time–used the colour palette in this painting as her theme. 

She had initially asked to borrow a painting of mine that I had in inventory. But after looking through my paintings, nothing quite fit the bill for the colour and size specifications that she desired. Therefore, I did what I do. 

I painted. 

And I created this painting to match the theme of her room decor at the time. She of course grew up, as children do, and changed the colour palette and design of her room. As a result, the painting ended up back in my inventory. And due to that, it was recently purchased by a collector here on Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.

The original square painting measures 24” x 24” and is a mixed media artwork composed of gold leaf, sand, acrylics, and collaged book pages and cut-out letters.

The colour palette is largely white, with gold and greyish turquoise. Recurring patterns create a flow throughout the painting as swooping gestural brushstrokes move your eye around the canvas.
