Watch the transformation of an ugly old canvas that I have had in my studio for over 15 years into a refreshed work of art! IF YOU DON'T RECYCLE
Original Painting by Danielle Harshenin Mixed Media on Canvas, 24" x 20" This piece was inspired by Christopher Wool's "If You" series of screen prints. I have never used the "F" word in a painting before, but I feel pretty strongly about recycling, so I thought this statement was appropriate! "If You Don't Recycle" was created on a recycled (previously used) canvas that I have had sitting around in my studio for over 15 years! Learn more here. I filmed the creation of my new abstract painting "Motherhood" from start-to-finish. Watch the amazing transformation on my YouTube Channel! Please remember to like and subscribe! :-) Hot off the press! Motherhood is the first painting I have created in 2022 and it is also the first painting I have created for my Recycling Project series. It features an ethereal colour palette and two hearts - symbolic of a mother's unconditional love for her children. MOTHER'S DAY 2022 GIFT IDEAS!Motherhood is available as prints, stationary cards, and TONS of cool merchandise that mom will love - like phone cases, tote bags, throw pillows, travel mugs & more. Shop online now! It feel soooo good to be back in my studio creating again. I absolutely LOVE how this piece turned out. Stay tuned for more new piece from my Recycling Project series! Happy Mother's Day!
xo Danielle It has been a looooong couple of years, hasn't it? I don't think anyone was prepared for what 2020 brought us - or how long it lasted! All I can say is that I am very thankful that COVID restrictions finally appear to be easing and we can all slowly get back to life as (the new) "normal". After a two-year break, I am finally back in my studio creating again - and it feels amazing. This pause has given me some time to reflect on my journey as an artist over the past 15 years, and to assess the direction I want my career to go moving forward. I have a ton of new projects in the works for 2022 that I am so excited to share with you guys!! This is going to be a bit of a long post so grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and get comfy ;-) NEW WEBSITEFirst, my website has been given a much needed refreshment - complete with my new logo! I have used the same logo since 2006 so it was definitely time for an update! My website now links to my Society 6 Shop where I sell Canvas Prints and Paper Prints of my paintings, as well as a huge selection of merchandise featuring my art - including phone cases, throw pillows, coasters and more! I will be slowly updating my social media pages over the coming weeks as well... You can connect with me on Instagram or Facebook. I also have a new YouTube channel which I'll talk about in a minute. NEW PAINTINGSI have a new series of paintings in the works! I am currently working on series that explores unusual ways to recycle old canvases - The Recycling Project. I plan to release this series by Fall 2022.

That's all for now! Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Please check back again soon :-)
My chair "Please Stand By" (left) has now been installed at the Lake Country Museum at 11255 Okanagan Centre Rd W, where it will stay for the next two years! I was so honored to have is placed next to chairs made by Leanne Spanza (right) and Margaret Kyle (center) - two incredibly talented local artists. Our trio of chairs is situated underneath a shade tree that overlooks Okanagan lake. It is a beautiful spot to take a break, people watch and enjoy a fantastic view.
45 chairs were painted in total and are currently being installed throughout the Okanagan from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm. All chairs will be installed in clusters of 3 at parks or beaches. More information about the project is available here. If you're looking for an adventure, going on a scavenger hunt to locate all the chairs would be a great way to spend a weekend! If you need some clues for where to find them, you can use the hashtag #ArtWalkArtChairs to see photos of people with the chairs! Good luck :-) You can also watch an interview with Hello Okanagan about this project - my chair is featured at the 16-minute mark! I finished my ArtWalk 2020 chair last night... Pretty sure it's the loudest thing I've ever painted lol. I had so much fun with this project and am really happy with how my chair turned out. I've titled it "Please Stand By". You can read more about this project here.
Can't wait to find out where it will be installed. Stay safe everyone! Please Stand By Acrylic & Latex on Muskoka Chair Danielle Harshenin © 2020 |
