What Does This Painting Make You Want To Say?

I invite my heart to guide my speech i of ii by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

I’m happy to announce that a few of my newly created abstract paintings are now available for purchase through Saatchi Art. 

The trio of paintings constitute a small series titled I invite my heart to guide my speech i, ii, and iii. All 3 original paintings are still available and they go wonderfully together, but each brightens any room as a stand alone piece. 

As usual, high-quality reproductions can also be ordered in a range of sizes and formats.

About these paintings

Bold gestural strokes of red span across the series, evoking a sense of passion and intensity. But this dominant palette of reds and pinks is accompanied by an equally powerful use of whitespace.

Together with translucent, watery layers and spots, these hues create a sense of the biological. In some places, it’s even like looking at cells on a microscope slide. But the soft, peachy tones keep the overall feeling warm and inviting rather than clinical.

Thin squiggles of metallic gold, grey, and black traverse each of the canvases, adding a touch of elegance and contrast to the otherwise raw and spontaneous expression. What do these lines mean to you? 

You are invited into a world of raw emotion and intuitive expression. There is a chaotic yet controlled energy, suggesting profound introspection–or perhaps a deep internal struggle. But the title invites us to say what we feel, to communicate from a place of authenticity and vulnerability.

This small series of paintings is part of my larger Little Gems Series and each acrylic-on-paper measures 9” x 12”.

About my Little Gems Series

My ongoing Little Gems Series is a collection of paintings that begin as practice pieces. I use them to hone my skills as well as explore and try out new techniques and ideas. 

Each painting in the series is bursting with the joy, love, and passion I feel in the studio. And all that energy and positivity is infused in every piece of artwork – which becomes my gift to you!

You can see more abstract paintings in the series here at Saatchi Art.

Which One of These Paintings Has a Hidden Bridge?

Heart Opener by Deb Chaney (36” x 48” x 1.5”)

This post is to celebrate my continued partnership with Van Gogh Designs. I have 4 original pieces of abstract contemporary artwork featured in their beautiful showroom in White Rock, British Columbia. 

About these paintings

These original abstract paintings are on exhibit in the showroom, and the originals and prints are available for purchase.

The Writing Is In The Air - Gabriola is a watery blend of bluish-green, black, and white. This ink on canvas painting measures 40” x 30” x 0.5”.

Red Landscape has an earth-tone colour palette of umber, brownish-yellow, and a bit of grassy green. Layered in horizontal strips, the colours create a sense of depth as though looking across an autumn field beneath a sky of white and grey. The white outlines of a suspension bridge can be seen through the “fog”. It measures 48” x 36” x 1.5”.

Connection & Belonging has an earthy colour palette of light greens, yellows, and gold. Layers of sand give it texture while ruler-straight pencil lines connect numerous dots around the painting like a map, creating a sense of connection through cartography. This pencil-on-canvas painting measures 36” x 48” x 1.5”.

Heart Opener has a colour palette of striking pink under harsh layers of dark red bordered by deep purple and midnight blue. Bold and aggressive strokes and drips of bright white stand out against the painting’s dark foundation. This acrylic on canvas painting measures 36” x 48” x 1.5”.

New Original Artwork “Turn The Lights On”

/

Turn The Lights On by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of a new abstract artwork. Turn The Lights On is now available for sale on Saatchi Art. You can currently buy the original painting or high-quality prints in a variety of sizes.

About This Painting

Fresh out of the studio, this is one of 3 new spiritually inspired artworks that I recently created. The small paintings were inspired by the process of figuring out how to create my new large-scale Drishti Painting Series. I have been using these small practice pieces to work out the integration of sacred geometry marks using textures and layers.

A gamut of vivid pinks, including magenta, rose, and salmon, are spotted with dimples of yellow and gold, while textured layers of sacred geometry create mesmerizing depths to lead your eye around the canvas.

Concentric circles and stencils of the Flower of Life are repeated across the canvas on multiple layers, floating above light yellows, blues, and whites far in the background.

The bright pinks are uplifting and exuberant in creating this loving, heartfelt piece of art. This contemporary mixed media painting is part of my Little Gems Series.

New Original Artwork: Becoming I of II

/

Becoming i of ii by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of my new original abstract painting titled Becoming I of II. 

About This Painting

Throughout the creative process, while painting this abstract artwork, I contemplated my journey of becoming an artist. I reflected on how it all began and remembered the sense of flow and fun that I experienced each step of the way.

Years ago, when I was living in California, I took part in the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show along the waterfront. One of the very first paintings I completed was called Nouveau Monde, and I actually sold it quite quickly after I painted it. It really made me feel like I was truly becoming the artist I wanted to be.

Prints of the Nouveau Monde are available for purchase online here:

https://www.saatchiart.com/print/Painting-Nouveau-Monde-ii-of-ii/499285/4079403/view

The pink-gold colours in Becoming I of II are reminiscent of that earlier painting, as are the simplicity of composition and thin horizontal lines dragging lazily across the canvas. It resembles an aerial view of the ocean and the beach. Its calm, subtle energy has a delicateness to it, which is something we feel when we are beginning a new experience or chapter in our lives.

This mixed-media-on-paper painting measures 9” x 12” and is part of my Little Gems Series paintings.

The Moon at Night by Deb Chaney

About This Painting

This post is celebrating the sale my original painting The Moon at Night. Thank you to its new owner and art collector who purchased this art piece my Open Studio Tour in 2022. Whenever a painting sells I feel supported and excited to continue painting. I am so grateful for your support, Thank you!

The Moon at Night was inspired by a friend’s story. He shared with me that no matter where he is, he loves to look up at the moon and feel a sense of connection and healing from her. I loved hearing about this kindred lunar connection and really felt it while creating this piece.

This original mixed media abstract painting has a beautiful contrasts of darks and light colours with peachy pinks and soft lemon yellows placed against dark blue-black. There is an ethereal feeling of space in this painting. And, if you look closely you will see an old fashioned clock in the background created with texture and integrated within the painted layers.

This painting is part of my Little Gems Series, a prolific series of small paintings that are created for fun, with joy, and for creative practice.
