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.

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.
