Art Show Promo Card - A Painted House A Day

 
 
 
 
 
(c)Christy Tremblay 2014-2015 
 

I am so excited to share my promo card for my art show with you!

I am in LOVE with it!
 It is so rewarding to see my art in print - and solidifies, that my show is going to happen.  After more than eight months of working on my Painted Houses,  I am in the home stretch!

 I however, can not take credit for the design of these beautiful cards!

I am lucky to know a wonderful artist -photographer named Jessica Flynn. See her work here on her website...
www.seeoutsideyourbox.com  

 Jessica also happens to be a military spouse. These are the fortunate connections, we as military-(gypsy) families are blessed with; in meeting, on our many travels, so many new and wonderful people, whom we may not have the chance otherwise to get to know.
Jessica was able to take my initial ideas of how I envisioned my cards and turn them into something stunning.

Frida Kahlo Inspiration - Original Paintings

Frida Kahlo Inspiration 

Frida Kahlo Exhibit Belton, Texas

    
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

 "Bloom"
Mixed Media on Canvas

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.
 
"Bamboo Passage"
Mixed Media on Canvas

 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.

A Little yellow house with Maizie's mountain in the backyard. New born baby - sister, Ciena cuddled in white bunting.  Rain rain go way...makes everything so green.
Family up the road, Lake Washington so near, and I can run on hills - pushing stroller with two daughters.

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?

As I reflect on this day, 13 years ago,  living in Issaquah, WA - preparing to get married one week later on September, 22. 
On this morning, I was driving to work, to teach a classroom of Pre- K students at a private school near my home.  I heard the news, on the radio, and again from parents, teachers, and the principle when I arrived at the school.  I know we all have a story and remember where we were when we found out.  This is important to have the memories and to not forget.
 
I hope you were able to have a moment of silence today to remember and reflect on 911.
 
Thank you for stopping by.  Check back tomorrow to see house #172!

 "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.
 
Amelia Earhart's child home.
 
 
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!

Hi!

I hope you enjoy house #158!  This series was inspired by the neighborhood I lived in, in Portland, Oregon. If you ever get a chance to visit; it is a whimsical, funky, artsy, and vibrant community with lots to explore.
Check back on Monday to see three more painted houses in this Alberta Street series.  I don't post houses on the weekend...but I can't wait to share with you on Monday.
