I watched with great pleasure the Queen's Jubilee celebration on the
river Thames this morning.
My roots came out and I got teary eyed when I listen to the marvelous
singing of Land of Hope and Glory.
I laughed when one of the announcers said they didn't know why the
Thames always looked so gray. Give the guy a sign...Rain gray,
sky grey, water gray. Sky blue, water blue!
My sister was on one of the boats - lucky lady!
I had so much fun painting this and I think it shows.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue.
DeleteSurely it does show. This is so full of life and happiness. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to say. Thank you Angela
DeleteRich in color, light, patterns... just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour work has amazing color and harmony so I thank you for the compliment.
DeleteIt's beautiful, Julie. It looks celebratory...like fireworks. Love all your work.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you. I love your work too.
DeleteMy daughter is in London for the moment, and even though not English she has been very excited about the Queens Jubilee , I can understand your being emotional about it, roots are roots ! Your painting is like an explosion of joy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your daughter is in London during such a memorable time. Thanks for liking the painting. For some reason I am really taken with it too.
DeleteBeautiful painting and beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI was in London last June and finding so very charming. I can understand why you would miss it. It must be difficult to so drastically change your day to day life.
Gorgeous mums! Enjoy the touches of turquoise.
Thanks for visiting carol and the lovely comment. Turquoise is all around me here in the southwest so it is not surprising it creeps into my paintings.
DeleteGorgeous painting. I watched the Jubilee too. It was wonderful. I wish I was one of those painters on the bridge!
ReplyDeleteOne of our talented DPW artists was on the bridge, by invitation no less. here is the link http://haideejo.blogspot.com/and it is on today.
DeleteThanks for the great comment on my painting, Nora.
Thanks Nora, One of our daily painters was on the bridge. Haidee Jo Summers, a huge honor as only twenty artists were chosen
DeleteCheck our her blog of the day and see her painting.

Hi Julie: This new work is so enthused with light! Just love it, and can't wait for when you will tell us all how you do it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am getting close to where the principles are getting more familiar. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteHei, Sinun maalauksesi ovat oikeita taideteoksia.
ReplyDeleteOnnittelen. Hyvää ja maalauksellista kesää
Thank you...I hope!
DeleteHappy and colorful but also showing how you have mastered the way you wish to paint now. It is a lovely example of who you are. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely comment. Thank you Helen.
DeleteCan't believe that you get that much details and structures into such a small painting, lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started I couldn't have but now I am familiar with the size. Thanks for the visit. Roger. I am admirer of your work.
DeleteI can see that your technique is translating into more and more confidence in your paintings. They are so stylish and unique and bold. Wonderful, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for noticing that, Susan. The fracturing is becoming very natural for me.
DeleteThe colors, especially the blues in this are wonderful...and the pattern on the bowl is something you would see in a museum. Wonderful still life Julie.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - you are the master of pattern so I thank you.
DeleteOh Julie, these hot pigments in the center! I recognize Indian yellow (and cad. orange, burnt sienna)? Could you tell your pallette for this vase, please. Is stupendous!
