I have moved to Wales, MA. With our move to another beautiful country setting I now have a cozy little studio set up in my new home. I hope to spend lots of time outdoors gathering inspiration to bring you more of my art work.
Here is a custom painted Welcome sign created for one of my friends and customers who is involved in cat rescue.
Here is another Slate which was donated for a raffle.
If you have a special request please contact me! My art will be for sale through my website and http://www.orchardbasketandgift.com soon!
It seems many people are under the impression you are not truely an artist unless you have spent years studying under masters or you have some sort of art degree. This has been a topic of discussion in our own family for some time. I truely feel,however, that some people have been given a gift from higher power. And when you know what that gift is you are meant to use it. Take my Mom, Christine, for example. She has this perfect and beautiful gift of creating art that shows the depth of life. Sometimes her works are whimsical in nature, other times you can almost see the soul of her creations. She was not given the opportunities in her younger years that many people take for granted. Yet she harnassed her skills and talent(gift) and never has given up. She is one of those people who just HAS what it takes. I am proud of her, through hard work and devotion, that she has not given up on herself. I hope you can see what I see in her beautiful paintings. She is a Master of her own creations.

We are very excited to bring you a blog for Christine Renaud and her beautiful art. Christine is very gifted with a natural talent to see beauty, photograph her own images and put them into art with simply a pot of paint and brush. Christine has been an artist all her life. From the time she was young she was always drawing and creating, a sort of escape for her in a crazy world. As Christine grew older her skills sharpened and she could breath life into her creations. Christine has always been very generous in her craft, giving many beautiful art pieces to family as well as sharing her talents with the elderly and her own young grandchildren. Christine is now venturing into the world of art as never before. Within the last year she has shown her works at various fairs as well as "The Arts Upstairs Gallery" in New York State. In 2009 Christine plans to really go forth in her art and to spread her wings more.., we hope you follow our blog and enjoy the year ahead.
