Take it Away XIII Painting (c) Deb Chaney Original Painting, collage on Paper Size: 15 W x 11 H x 0.1 D in

The four original paintings for this installation were inspired by the ephemeral beauty of walking along the river through Lynn Valley in North Vancouver ‘Take it Away I, II, III & IV’ and were gifted to developers to be featured in their head office. That said, for the photo shoot and process of putting together the final documentation of the project I painted several more paintings to show the layers and process behind the mixed media works. Several of these paintings are available for your collection and can be purchased via Saatchi Online Gallery. You can click the Saatchi gallery link here or contact the artist directly info@debchaney.com to acquire one of these beautiful original mixed media paintings for your collection.

Original Abstract Painting ‘A Mermaid's Adventure’ Currently On Display at SIMS Real-Estate Office

I am very excited to share this abstract original painting ‘A Mermaid's Adventure’ that is now available for your art collection or as a TV/Film Rental for your current production and is available for you to see at the SIMS real-estate office in Nanaimo, BC.

'A Mermaid's Adventure' is a 36“ x 36“ x 1.5“ multi-layered and textured painting created with mixed media on canvas and inspired by the ever-moving ocean and all the treasures and love within it. The artist imagines mermaids swimming around and within the creation. With collage elements, gold sparkles, acrylic paints, polymer mediums and even pieces of burlap, this modern mixed media artwork is a journey and feast for the eyes to explore!

Part of Deb Chaney's Pure Abstraction Series, these paintings each contain much texture and depth in their exploration of abstract painting and begin by the artist's hikes and beach walks, her inspiration from nature. As famous artist Marc Chagall write's; "Great art picks up where nature ends." The paintings in this series are known for their neutral and calming colour tones and are excellent for interior design of a bedroom or living room, places where you aim to relax at the end of your time.

A Mermaid's Adventure is a one-of-a-kind modern art painting is predominantly green in its colouring, also reminiscent of viridescent; olive green, pea green, grass green, emerald green, lime green, bottle green, Lincoln green, sea green, and sage green. The colour green is all about Love! When you 'bathe' in the frequency of the green colour you receive balance, soothing and can enjoy a feeling of relaxation leading to peace, harmony and renewal. Ultimately its a healing colour, signifying balance, peace and supports well-being.

According to simple Feng Shui principles, by placing this painting directly on the left hand side wall of your home or room you are decorating, is said to then support you the area in your life of family. Supporting community building and strength in your tribe.

This artwork also has hints - can you find the heart? - of purple, sometimes known as violet, indigo or magenta, is a colour that in indicative of the resonance of wealth, opportunity and royalty. We are thinking the mermaid's may have found the heart and placed it in their treasure chests within their underwater castles...

Placing original artwork intentionally in your home as a tool for its staging for sale, or to settle in and make it really feel like your own home, is a powerful to create and elevate your home from ordinary to extraordinary.
