FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 3, 2014	CONTACT: June Ritterbusch Lauren Weldon (254) 947-8011

ARTIST’S RECEPTION

 

Who:  CHRISTY TREMBLAY
When:  Saturday, January 24^th from 5 - 8pm

Where:  Salado Wine Seller, 841 N.

 Main St., Salado, TX 76571

Join us on Saturday, January 24^th from 5-8 pm, when Christy Tremblay will be on hand to discuss her art show “A Painted House a Day“.  Ms. Tremblay, a mixed media artist,  was selected for the next exhibition at the winery due to her unique perspective on military life. 

Christy just completed an art challenge, A Painted House A Day. Her goal was to create with paint and mixed media one house image a day, for 183 days. She completed 183 Painted Houses from March 2014 to September 2014.

A Northwest native, Christy has taught in Korea and visited cities, rural areas and islands in Southeast Asia. She started using the imagery of houses in her art about four years ago when she and her family were living on Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. They had a historical Bungalow with a lot of charm.  She says, " 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 often.  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.”

The Salado Winery gallery will be filled with Ms. Tremblay's artwork, which will be available for sale throughout the spring.  Wines produced on the premise will be available for savoring as folks view and purchase these local art treasures.

Frida Kahlo Inspiration - Original Paintings

Did you know I went to Auburn University for two semesters? It is in Auburn, Alabama...that's a whole other story...for another post.

 

Keeping to my art...

 My style of painting, can be characterized with; texture, lines, circles, abstract in nature, loose color, and built up layers of paint and other mixed media...  Christy Tremblay Painting

I took some fine art classes from Auburn University art department to keep my teaching certificate current.   Little did I know at the time, it was those art instructors  who would have a great impact on my art interest, style, and direction.

 One of the classes I took was on women's art history.  I learned about Frida Kahlo and have since loved her life story and her art work.

Her art inspired my choice of color palette for this small painting and mixed media metal star. 

I love the bold richness of the colors. Check back to see where this may lead.

 

"The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."

Mexican Painter born on July 6, 1907

 

 

 

 

 

If you are in the Central Texas area between now and this December, check out the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Belton, Texas museum.

What's In My Studio Today? Mixed Media Original Collage on Wood - NEW!

 

What's In My Studio Today?

 

 

 

Mockingbird Song

 

Collage Inspiration

 

 

 

I had fun creating this mixed media collage. It has a variety of materials - including; acrylic paint, handmade paper, maps, and oil bars.

 

 

 

My daughter is learning about the State of Texas and various facts; including the state bird - the Mockingbird.

She told me that the Mockingbird songs are over a dozen in variety. Come to find out, they actually have up to 200 songs!

 They are also very territorial of their space and especially their nest.  They will attempt to fly at anyone who threatens their space as well as make a very loud noise to let you know they are upset. We have Mockingbirds that nest around our yard and we can hear them singing as they protect their homes.

 

This collage painting is inspired by the Mockingbird and it's many songs.

Do you notice the little house?  If you have been following my blog...you know my love for using the house image in my work and my art challenge, A painted House A Day.

By the way...I am working hard to frame all of the house paintings.

The show is January 26th, 2015!

If you are new here, you will have to read back on my posts to see what I have been up to.

Mockingbird Song 

 

 

This art can be displayed hanging on the wall or standing on a shelf.

Very interesting...

Texas designated the mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) as official state bird in 1927. Northern Mockingbirds have extraordinary vocal abilities - they can sing up to 200 songs, including the songs of other birds, insect and amphibian sounds, even an occasional mechanical noise. The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi.

The Texas legislature noted that the mockingbird:

"...is found in all parts of the State, in winter and
in summer, in the city and in the country, on the prairie and in the woods and hills...is a singer of distinctive type, a fighter for the protection of his home, falling, if need be, in its defense, like any true Texan..."
