Summer Flower Series

With summer upon us, and hopefully more time to create new works of art...I am inspired to paint a summer flower series!

My first one, I did yesterday.  It is called Summer Poppies.  Inspired by my love of poppies and the colors I feel are summer.

“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...”

Art Class!!!

Hi!

Happy October!
Time for change and reflection. I went from creating painted houses to giving students the tools to create art! Check out my new website - Teaching Art Class!  
September and October we dove into Texture! Everything from leaf and shoe rubbings to tree bark rubbings and creating Calder inspired mobiles with sticks and scratchy - soft yarn.

"Then summer fades and passes, and October comes.  Will smell smoke then, and feel an unsuspected sharpness, a thrill of nervous, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure." -Thomas Wolfe, (1900-1938) You Can't Go Home Again.

New Art Store...HEAVEN!

Hi!

We have landed in our new home!  Getting settled after our move from Texas to Virginia and looking forward to finding and adding inspiration to my Blog.  I know it's been a while since I have posted!  No apologies to make though, we have had a busy summer and moving takes A LOT out of me.  I am also learning/trying to stop apologizing for so many things. Take one day at a time and do your best each day. And if you aren't your best, find inspiration, to use at a later time...

I have had time to reflect on my art creating and the past year of blogging.  Although I don't know what lies ahead this year, for me - art wise, I do know that I still need to create art. 

My studio is still in boxes...but I know soon I will be able to unpack and set up my new creative space...which this time around, is in an extra bedroom. Pictures to come soon!

Today I found an art supply store near our house. After two years of living without a good art supply store near by, I was in heaven! Sensory overload, to say the least.  If you are a creative person, I know you can relate to the feeling of seeing a row full of vivid, soft pastels waiting to be crushed on a canvas.

 Love these Japanese Papers!

Inspiration! I love adding paper to a mixed media painting. 

Mixed media inspiration!

Wonderful mediums to use with mixed media art! 

Thank you for taking a peek into my day!  I look forward to sharing more art inspirations with you, from my new Virginia home.


Something Fun! 

While I haven't been able to make any new paintings...being busy with the move, I have had fun designing these Fun Drink Coasters!

 These artist printed coasters are from, "A Painted House A Day," Art Collection of my original mixed media paintings on canvas. Now available as stunning sets of drinks coasters!

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.
