Mixed Media Paintings - My Favorite Painted Houses!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.

As I have finished ALL 183 painted houses I wanted to share my favorites...which is tough because I really love them all. But I do have some that I am drawn to more then others.

This is why art is so wonderful, that it can mean something different to each of us and bring out different emotions and memories for each person.

Here are some of my favorite painted houses and my story behind a Painted House A Day...for those of you who are new to my blog, A Painted House A Day.

Here is a little history on the subject matter of "Houses" and why they are such a meaningful image in my life:
I lived in the same house since I was two years old, after moving across country from Tampa, Florida to Seattle, WA. I was raised in the same house since I was two and my parents still live in that house, in Washington State.
I moved away for college to Northern Arizona and also lived in Korea to teach English after college. I always had the travel bug!

I often went back to my home in Washington between my college and adventures in traveling.
To me a house is security, happiness, and home.

Now I move every one to two years, my husband is in the Army and we get to live in many places and houses.

I started using the imagery of a house in my art about four years ago when we were living on Fort Bliss in Elpaso, TX. We had a historical Bungalow with a lot of charm. www.elpaso.about.com/.../FortBlissTour_3.htm

I always wondered about all of the different military families who had occupied the house before us. Where were they from? Where did they consider home? How many children did they have?

I wrote the following short story and added it to the back of a series of paintings I created called, "Home Again."

" Growing up I had two houses I called "home."
As an adult and with a family of my own, I have had many houses to make a home.
My husband is Active Duty Army and we move a lot!
Although a move comes with work and saying goodbyes, we embrace each move and look forward to our new adventures, people to meet, and places to explore.
Houses are houses. A home is for a family to create safety, love, and memories.
As I make each move with my two daughters and husband, I find our locations and houses to change, but our home stays the same.

Have a great day!

Christy

Ready to Hang

This is my most recent, completed painting. It is textured and has many different mediums, paper, and paints. The colors remind me of fall.

I like to record the process from start to finish...my painting process is not always planned and evolves through each layer of paint and medium.
