Winter Hush Abstract Original Painting Day One 30 Day Painting Challenge


Here we go!
Day #1 of my 30 Paintings in 30 Days Art Challenge 


"Winter Hush"
Acrylic on Canvas with 1.5 inch sides
6x6 inches
Christy Tremblay (c) 2017


The theme for today was "Nude."  My original thought was to paint an abstract with a nude color palette and nothing really resembling any particular object. I decided to challenge myself a bit, and attempt these abstract winter trees.  I really like the texture and color combination. Overall, I am happy with the feel of this first painting.

What do you think?  I would love to hear your thoughts.

This painting is for available!  Shipping is included on this link. SHOP  here!


Tomorrow's theme is Black and White.  I hope you can check in and see what I come up with.

Art Work Art Gifts Artist Painted



Art Gallery Shop

The holidays are creeping up and I sure am busy! Make sure to scroll to the bottom to see my new art collections, perfect for gifts!

 I have been painting like crazy, entering art shows, hosting art shows in my home, and trying to learn to market my art...it's exhausting and super wonderful, all at the same time!  Did I forget to mention, taking care of my family -two daughters, husband, and our dog!  Yes, learning to carve out time for my art is a full time project.

To share with you some of my most recent art events is my pleasure.

I hosted a Gallery Hop in our home.  It was a lot of work, but worth it all. I had about fifty people come through and sold a lot of new and older works of art.  My home was turned into a gallery for the evening and a lot of wine, good food, friends, conversation, and art happened. It was a wonderful evening!

I was recently chosen to have one of my new paintings in an all women's juried art show.

This work of art has been accepted in an upcoming juried art show. It will be for sale during the month of the show.
The following are the details of this art call.

Art Show Info
Believing Is Seeing
In the world of science as in much of life, seeing is believing. In the world of art, more often the reverse is true: believing is seeing. In the studio an artist borrows from her own imagination and vision, whether from a very personal inner world, or from the material world around her. Starting with a blank canvas, a lump of clay, or a found object, and drawing on her own life experience and beliefs, the artist transforms her vision into art, sharing her truth with others. This juried exhibition of WCA/DC members’ work affirms their belief that art can be seen all around us.
The Women’s Caucus for Art - District of Columbia Chapter has issued a call for entries for a juried show that opens on December 2, 2016 at Artists and Makers Galleries in Rockville, MD. Rebecca Cross, owner of the Cross MacKenzie Gallery in Georgetown, will jury the show.

New Abstract Painting


New work!
I am trying to get in my studio more often.  It's not always easy to make the time.  And even harder, is, trying to market my art and get it seen.  
Here is my most recent painting, which is available for purchase here



"In Between Summer"
Acrylic on Canvas
18x18 inches

(c) Christy Tremblay 2016


My work conveys texture, color, and emotions of the world as I see it. Rather than working to create an exact replication, I find more interest in the process of creating a feeling, mood, and movement.

Art Studio New Paintings Summer Flower Series

Summer Flower Series

What's in my studio today?

I started two summer flower series paintings.  This one is a commission, which will be going to a client in Dallas, Texas, when it is finished. It's exciting to create an original art work for someone to enjoy and to their specific design request. 
I create paintings from emotion, color, and feel instead of portraying a realistic image. I hope that when someone sees my work they will feel a connection and emotions to the colors and texture.

                                     


Work in Progress

Art Class!!!





Hi!




Happy October!
Time for change and reflection. I went from creating painted houses to giving students the tools to create art! Check out my new website - Teaching Art Class!  
September and October we dove into Texture! Everything from leaf and shoe rubbings to tree bark rubbings and creating Calder inspired mobiles with sticks and scratchy - soft yarn.

"Then summer fades and passes, and October comes.  Will smell smoke then, and feel an unsuspected sharpness, a thrill of nervous, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure." -Thomas Wolfe, (1900-1938) You Can't Go Home Again.

New Art Store...HEAVEN!

Hi!

We have landed in our new home!  Getting settled after our move from Texas to Virginia and looking forward to finding and adding inspiration to my Blog.  I know it's been a while since I have posted!  No apologies to make though, we have had a busy summer and moving takes A LOT out of me.  I am also learning/trying to stop apologizing for so many things. Take one day at a time and do your best each day. And if you aren't your best, find inspiration, to use at a later time...

I have had time to reflect on my art creating and the past year of blogging.  Although I don't know what lies ahead this year, for me - art wise, I do know that I still need to create art. 

My studio is still in boxes...but I know soon I will be able to unpack and set up my new creative space...which this time around, is in an extra bedroom. Pictures to come soon!

Today I found an art supply store near our house. After two years of living without a good art supply store near by, I was in heaven! Sensory overload, to say the least.  If you are a creative person, I know you can relate to the feeling of seeing a row full of vivid, soft pastels waiting to be crushed on a canvas.


 Love these Japanese Papers!

Inspiration! I love adding paper to a mixed media painting. 






Wonderful mediums to use with mixed media art! 

Thank you for taking a peek into my day!  I look forward to sharing more art inspirations with you, from my new Virginia home.


Something Fun! 


While I haven't been able to make any new paintings...being busy with the move, I have had fun designing these Fun Drink Coasters!


 These artist printed coasters are from, "A Painted House A Day," Art Collection of my original mixed media paintings on canvas. Now available as stunning sets of drinks coasters!
