The Blue Bow!


Blue Bow  
18"x24" oil on canvas SOLD

Artist Note
I am so busy dealing
with all the stuff
that goes along with 
selling a house,
 plus working,
that I have not been
 able to get around
to visit the blogs I love so much.
If you have not seen any comments then
please know, I will be back !!

My daughter is posting older
paintings of mine
 on Instagram and Facebook
 just to keep
the flow going.

This one was painted back when
I accepted commissions.
A friend's boyfriend surprised her
with this bouquet...
tucked inside the bow 
was an engagement ring!
Sweet!

  2. What a super painting, Julie. The freesias are beautifully rendered and the ribbon shines so realistically I can feel it. Wonderful textures throughout, How good you are! Hang on in there with the move. I don't envy you. Soon be done, though...

  6. What a fantastic idea your client had. I'm sure it will be very special for her all her life. You painted it beautifully.

    Hang in there, Julie, with the house move. It DOES end eventually, and you'll be so pleased to be in your new home.
