New Painting "Spring Flurry 1" Available in a Gallery Wrap Canvas









I keep telling myself that spring is right around the corner...I believe it to be so!  But, here in Texas, the weather has been somewhat strange...for this otherwise sunny, state.   The skies have been gloomy and days cold, below freezing, foggy, and sleet.  Reminds me a bit of my "home" in Seattle, WA.  At least in the winter time.  I think that my latest series "Spring Flurry" is going to beckon spring.  I am ready! Are you?

What Does Art Offer?
















"What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit." - John Updike

I found these images this morning while doing my routine FB search (which I often tell my self I am going to get rid of)...Until I find something inspiring and think that I need it.

And this inspiration is what I found today...
This five year old girl with autism paints stunning masterpieces. 

"An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one." - Charles Horton Cooley



























These images may bring up the question...

Can art heal?

I believe this to be true.
I would love to hear your thoughts!

Create Art!

 
 
 
Check out this fun and colorful art!!!
 
 
I love what this artist says about making time for art, even during the holidays. I'm certainly going to try!
 
I do have some ideas for a 36"x 36" mixed media painting in the house theme. I'd like to have it ready for my January show to hang along with my house paintings.
I will post pictures of this work in progress...as soon as I get started.

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 24th from 5 - 8pm

Where:  Salado Wine Seller, 841 N.
 Main St., Salado, TX 76571

Join us on Saturday, January 24th 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.
