House #159, 160, & 161 - Alberta Street Series 7, 8, and 9 - Original Paintings

 "The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." Amelia Earhart 
 
 What a wonderful quote to go with this posting.  I actually lived near Amelia Earhart's child home, where she was raised by her grandparent's during the winter months.  It is in Atchison, Kansas.  I was living in Leavenworth, Kansas, at Fort Leavenworth at the time, when I learned about her home and where she grew up. You can take a tour of the home and learn a lot of interesting facts about her childhood.

I have completed the Alberta Street series! I have one series left to make into a complete series.  It is the Stars in July painted houses. 
I will work on those the next three days and then start some new house series.
 
I think I have found a location for my show this winter...more to come on the details!  Very exciting!
If you have not yet reserved your painted house, you still have time, although many are spoken for! Thank you to all who have reserved a house!

I love this tiny house! My great friend, Jenn ...also an artist suggested that I might want to paint some art houses with smaller houses.  This is the first of the tiny houses ...more to come in this rain series.
Thanks Jenn!

House #46 - Rain 1

A Painted House A Day
House #46
Rain 1

I decided today to move on to a new series of art houses. This series will be named, "Rain."
I have found that I love working in a series as it allows for continuity in this project of,  A Painted House A Day.
It seems so far-at least, that six or seven art houses are my limit for a series and I'm ready to move on.

This Rain Series has been on my mind for a while and today was a good day to start. Coincidentally it rained here in Central Texas...thunderstorms all day. We have had a dry spell up until today.

I grew up in Washington State, near Seattle where the rain is nothing new.
Now, living in Texas, I miss the rain(although sunny days are wonderful) and a rainy day brings memories of "home."
When I think of rain I have memories of listening to the drops and pitter patters on the roof as I slept. I remember playing in the puddles and rain walks without out an umbrella.
I love the smell just before the rain comes down...the smell of rain - a clean smell.

Today as the rain came down I sat out on our back yard porch with my youngest daughter and we watched sheets of rain fill the grass with puddles of mud.

Here is the first house in the Rain Series. Also a couple pictures from our rainy day.
Enjoy!

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. " - Langston Hughes
