Artist in Action Art Demo Salado Art Experience

 

  My first time of painting in public - at the Artist in Action Immerse and Emerge this past weekend, was a blast!

 

I didn't take as many pics as I had wanted, but here is what I do have...

Painting away and making progress on this canvas!

I love this quote!  It is so true for me.

 

"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious".

-Diego Rivera

 

 

Ciena with Winery Cat...that is really her name:)

Some of the materials I used...I also had a table set up for the public to experiment with painting techniques...Wish I would have taken a picture. 

 

 

What I learned from my Public Painting experience:

-Music is important

-Having the public art experimenting table was a hit

-Having my daughters with me was great (in this small setting) but maybe not so much if it were a larger crowd

-More than two hours would be fine (it actually went by fast)

-One glass of wine was perfect

-I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be

-I would like to do it again

 

 

Thanks everyone who stopped by to see me!

 My next art event is this Saturday from 2 pm to 4 pm at Salado Winery, Salado, Texas.

Immerse and Emerge  the Salado Art Experience


I will be working on this painting during the event,
Artist in Action Christy Tremblay
 in hopes to get it close to completion. I don't usually work in public on my art, actually, almost never! SO, this should be an interesting task for me as well as interesting for the public to view. 

My typical "work" time of creating in my studio is very solitary.  My dog Finn does join me on many occasions...if he's not sleeping on the couch.  Painting for me is meditative and an inward experience. Any noise, except my music is distracting.

I decided the best way to paint in public for this event would be to have a painting that is about half way complete...A Work in Progress!

This way, I can add the details to the painting and not worry about the first layers needing to dry.

I'm sure I will learn a lot about myself as an artist!

Check back to see an update and pics from the event.

Art "Work" Day Hanging Paintings for Art Festival

Hi,

Today was a "work day," which means that I didn't get to paint.  I went to the Salado Winery to hang more paintings for this weekends - Texas Wine and Art Rogue Festival.

 

I'm with my original painting,

 

"Winter Bloom."

 

36" x 36" Mixed media on Canvas

Available

$1900

 

I love this painting!  It has many layers, which makes for wonderful texture and vibrant color.

 

 

I had to take an artist selfie...just for fun. It turned out pretty good...Sorry, I don't do the fish lips:)

 

 

 

 

 

As I waited for the winery owner to open the doors, I explored the outdoors around the winery.  It was a perfect 75 degree, sunny day in Salado, Texas.

 

Here is what I found...

 

 

A Taco Truck...just

Outside of the Salado Winery.

 

Enjoy wine tasting, original art, and tacos!

 

Of course I had to stop in, after hanging my paintings, for some chicken tacos.  So yummy!

And, they were only 2.00/taco!

 

If you get a chance to go...I recommend the brisket taco and of course with the green salsa.

 

 

 

 An Owl Carving...

This little guy was carved into this rock outside of the Salado Visitors Center.

 A wine bottle tree...

This art instillation is really cool and I love how the wine bottles pick up the sunlight, adding highlights to the bottles.

You can also check out the antique shop next door.





The Salado Winery  art gallery room is next to the wine tasting room.  Perfect for viewing original art and enjoying Texas wines.

My paintings will be on display at the winery and available for purchase through June 2015.

 

 

 

 

Poppy 1, Poppy 2, and Home Again are some of my

Original Paintings available for the art festival.

 

 

 

More of my paintings on display for the art festival.

 

I love this old section of fence, I found at an antique store.  A really fun way to display my smaller paintings.

This is my favorite display of my art ( at least right now).  I love the spring colors in these new paintings!

 

This is "Spring Flurry 1" and "Spring Flurry 2"

 

"Yellow" is the one in the middle...of course!

 

"Spring Flurry 4"

"Spring Flurry 1"

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE the colors on this gallery wall!

Hope to see you this Weekend.
