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 clouds in Texas continue to amaze me!  The wide open skies that bring big puffy clouds and rainbows in the midst of thunderstorms.

 

 

All things Rainbow...Rainbow umbrellas line the cafes in San Antonio, Texas.

New Series! Rainbow House 1 - House #165 - A Painted House A Day

A Painted House A Day

House #165

Rainbow House 1

 

 

I believe a rainbow is a sign, to make us slow down and ponder, meditate, and remember.

 

 

 Rainbow House 1

Christy Tremblay

9/5/14

 

I completed all of my house series!  This means that each painted house up to house #164 has a complete set of nine in a series (with the exception of my first houses 1 to 18 which stand alone without a series.)

Today I started a brand new series with Rainbow House 1.

To be honest, I had no idea of what I wanted to paint today!  I went into my studio to begin house #165 and nothing came to me.  I looked at my notes and journals where I write down my ideas as they come to me, and nothing jumped out at me.  I thought for a few moments that I would need to postpone todays house until I had my plan, this seemed easy, to write a post about why I wouldn't have this house ready until a later date.  It also made me upset to think of not completing a painting.

 

I decided to step outside, as I often do (go outside) when I feel stressed or need a different point of view.  I have always loved to be outside, in nature and in an open space. When I stepped outside this is what I saw...

And this in when I decided on my next series of, Rainbow House.  Now, this wasn't actually the first time that I had this idea, for a Rainbow house.  I had it in my thoughts for a while...but had forgotten about it and had not written it down in my notes.

 

This is why I believe that rainbows are a sign or a symbol to let us now that we can stop and reflect and take the time to remember.

 

I hope you enjoy this next series!

 

Christy

 



 

 

I don't post houses on the weekend, but will post house #166 and #167- Rainbow House 2 and 3 on Monday.

 

 

I love to read comments and your ideas about my art and blog.

 

Thanks for visiting!

Turquoise 5
(Details)
A Painted House A Day

I am working on completing the Turquoise series of my painted houses.
The following painted houses are the first four in he Turquoise Series.

  Today I completed Turquoise 5 and will work on 6, 7 , 8, and 9 to finish the series.  If you know my work, you know how much I love to use the color turquoise, and all shades of blue, for that matter.

 It will be fun to finish this series.  

I incorporated the maps I have recently started to use in some of my paintings.  I plan on making a whole series of map paintings. 

I may have to start soon, as I am really liking the added element of the maps.

Thanks for stopping by!
Check back tomorrow to see House #135, Turquoise 6.
