Original Paintings on Canvas - Framing Original Art

A Painted House A Day

Mixed Media Original Paintings on Canvas

 

 

Hi!

Thanks for stopping by. I  reached my goal of completing all 183 houses!

I am on to the next phase of this project of preparing the paintings for the show in December.

 

What's new in my studio?

 

 

Time to Frame!

 

 

I am so excited to have begun the process of framing my original mixed media house paintings.  It has taken me a lot of thought and research of how I wanted to frame each canvas in a way that is appealing as well as time effective; as I do have 183 paintings!

 

First 31 Painted Houses

 

I have always liked the idea of using wood, as it goes well with the house theme and is a natural product. I am using 6 x 6 inch white wood squares as well as pine wood and some reclaimed barn wood; which is very rustic and perfect for some of the house paintings!

 

Today I begun by sanding the wood squares and applying a light stain. 

 

 

 

 

 

 I am so happy with how my first frame turned out!  This first one is House #155, Bird House 9 of the Bird Series.  Do you remember this one?  I love this little red bird!  I really like how it looks with the stained wood as a background.

A sneak peak of how this painting looks displayed!

Do you like it?

 

 These original paintings can be displayed hanging on a wall as well as standing on a shelf.

 

 A great way to add color and interest to your home décor!

 

 

Where are you going to display your painted house?  I can't wait to see!

 

I will be busy making the frames for all the houses and will post them here on my blog.

 

 

Thank you so much for taking a look at my mixed media original paintings!  If you see something you like on my blog please leave me a comment.  If you are interested in purchasing a painted house or other art works you may email me with your interest.

Kirkland, WA is the city I grew up in...it is where I call home.

Every new place we move for my husbands military work gets to be compared to Kirkland.  So far not one place can beat it!  Is this because of the beauty and wonderful place Kirkland is?  Or is this because this is were I grew up and it is home?

 Rainbow House Series

Look at the difference from Rainbow House 1 to all the following Rainbow Houses!  I like how the abstractness took over...What do you think?

 

Do you realize - I am down to painting my last 8 houses!?  Really...ONLY 8 more to go!

For my last series of houses, I will paint the houses which I have lived in.  I may need to go beyond 8 houses to achieve this (not joking:)remember we are a military family. Or I may decide to paint only my favorite houses.

 

This first one is...

Our House 1

Location is - North bend, WA.

This house was an A -frame cabin style home which sat on the Snoqualmie river and at the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Bend,_Washington

 



Our House 2

Location - Fort Leavenworth, KS.



We didn't live in a barn...we lived on the military base of Fort Leavenworth.  This is what I think of when I remember our time at Leavenworth (no pun intended:) There are so many barns and lines of maize color fields.

 "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!
