House #183 (Stop) Original Paintings on Canvas

A Painted House A Day
House #183
Stop Sign
 
 
"Every house where love abides And friendship is a guest, Is surely home, and home sweet home For there the heart can rest". 
 Henry Van Dyke
 
 
A Painted House A Day
House #183
Mixed Media on Canvas
4" x 4"
Stop
 
This last house has a stop sign - of course for the meaning it gives - of stop, to stop and look and to stop this project because it is completed. I think it also means to stop by and stop and reflect.  The small houses are the future houses I will move to in our next military moves. And one day a retirement house.
 
 
 
 
Hi!
 
I made it to my goal of painting 183 houses on canvas!
 
This is my first house I painted on March 24, 2014!

"Where we love is home – home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts".
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
 
 
 Our House 6
Location - Issaquah, WA

 Our House 7
Location - Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX
 
 
 Our House 8
Location - Redmond, WA
 

Our House 9
Location - Harker Heights, TX (Fort Hood, TX)
 
 
 
Here are all of the houses together in this last series; "Our House."

Wow!  I have lived in some pretty colorful places.  Seriously though, each place has been an experience and I am lucky to have been able to live in so many new places.  I have so many memories and friends all over the country!  My daughters have learned to adapt to this gypsy life style that an Army life brings.  Because of all the moves and changes, they are very resilient and thrive in new situations.
 
So, this brings me to having just ONE house left to paint.  I hope you have enjoyed this journey with me, in seeing each new painted house.  I also hope that you will continue to stop by my blog to see what new art endeavors I am doing. And to see my latest paintings.
 

 
And don't forget to check in to see updates on my art show for all the 183 house paintings.  I am in the process of getting all details in place for the location and date of the show. I will post information here soon.
 
I will continue to take Pre -Orders on the original house paintings (not already reserved.) Please email me for more information.  Or send me a message on this blog.

 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.
 



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.

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!
