RE- WORKING an ORIGINAL PAINTING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi All!

 

I just wanted to share a painting that I have recently been working on.  The second bottom painting is how it started.  I have had it in my studio and look at it a lot, and realized yesterday that I wasn't happy with it.  This doesn't happen a lot, but when it does, I usually end up re- working the whole painting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is how it has changed!

TOTALLY different, I know. 

 

 

 

 

 

I did keep the three houses, but changed their colors.  I think I have a bit more to do...but will look at it for a couple of days before I decide.

What do you think?  Thoughts?  Comments? I would love to know what you think!

Hello to All!

I have been busy working on this larger painting, which will be featured in my upcoming show, A Painted House A Day

I posted the first stages of this 30 inch x 30 inch works a couple of days ago. 
This is what it looked like in the early stages.

 
I was able to work on it some more, and am really loving how it has evolved!

Maybe a few more marks and details before I add the varnish...what do you think?

I really need to look at the painting from a far to see it as a whole. At this point I may add more marks and small details, before I add the final varnish.


This is the stage I call, "stepping back."
I wrote about the stages of painting in a previous post...How Does an Artist Know When a Painting is Done?

I think it is almost ready for varnish!

 
 

 
 


I would LOVE to hear what you think!

Stages of Creating Mixed Media Painting

I posted the picture of the beginning of my house painting I'm working on in my last blog post.

 

I've been working more tonight...look at the changes that have taken place!

I would say it's about 1/4 finished.
More to do!

 

 

 

 

 

First Stage of Painting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding layers of paint and medium to build up texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What color do you see for the house?
I have been seeing red...but as the painting evolves, I'm not sure. Have to wait and see.

 

 

Happy Holidays!

Taking time to enjoy my family over our holiday break.

I look forward to posting new art and pictures from my upcoming show, in the new year.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you for your support of my art this past year.

Art Show Press Release - A Painted House A Day - Original Mixed Media Paintings

Salado Wine Seller
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.

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.
