Julie, this is so lovely. Great complimentary colors and your fracturing technique makes it exciting. Believe it or not, I was in a department store the other day and saw a beautiful turquoise vase and I thought of YOU !
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that story. I do not mind being known as the turquoise artist! Fun - thanks Carol
DeleteThis is beautiful. I am sure the client will be thrilled. Your fracturing technique has produced some really great artwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks and I am pleased you think so, but the fracturing is still a little inconsistent. It is trial and error every day, but has definitely become part of my painting process.
DeleteAnother pretty one! You take requests? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I do as long as it is only suggestions on a color harmony.
DeleteI really like those colorful darks. They make the lights pop!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously considering trying one in your fracturing style. I don't have your unique squeegee tool, so it would be the palette knife for me.
A late congrats on the big 400th, Julie!
You should try it, Dean, if for no other reason than it is fun to explore new techniques. You can buy a shaper already ready for the job. I am too cheap and make my own!
DeleteThe play and warms and cools........beautiful.
ReplyDeleteColor is all about warms and cools for sure. Thank Helen.
DeleteThis is really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the "feel" of this - and the colors are really clean and beautiful. Great job!
Thanks, Debbie - I like your car series,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...! I ove everything about it!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful painting with wonderful colours and I love your fracturing technique.
