A Little Watercolor
6x6in watercolor on Arches SOLD
A quick little study of three Roman glass vessels, painted for a friend
who likes my watercolors more than my oils.
These are very old pieces and covered with a mica type film - which I find beautiful.
My lovely daughter is moving to another state with her job. (sob!) Tonight
is our last night together for quite a while so it will be special.
We will miss her and her companion, Eric. They follow my blog so
I am wishing them a safe journey and wonderful new adventures.
A lovely watercolor, Julie....and I wish your daughter the best of luck with her new job.! thank goodness for computers ..it makes it easier to stay in touch!! Skype?!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hilda.
DeleteThanks also for sending my daughter luck for her new job. We are very proud of her, but she is a lot of fun so there will be a void.
I like how every aspect of the painting surface, including the background, speaks to the translucent and rich surfaces of the vessels. And how the contrast of the powerful background colors reinforce the delicacy of the glass. Really nice image...
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful watercolor Julie...it has a real glass look to me. Best of luck and lots of happy returns to your daughter. I agree with Hilda...Skype!!! We love to skype with our son who lives in Montana.
ReplyDeletelovely painting...! what fab shapes
ReplyDeleteWow - this is a great comment. Thank you so much, Melle.
ReplyDeleteI checked out your blog and was really impressed with your work.
Your watercolor is painted with the same art with which you paint your oils!Julie,you have a fabulous artistic talent with every technique!
ReplyDeleteSince some years my daughter lives far away,with her husband and my granddaughter ... There is skype and a great love ... I never had time to paint since over these years!
Hi Rita - thanks so much for lovely complement.
DeleteSkype is something I treasure as my young grandchildren live far away.
Love the film covering and the texture you have. Enjoy your daughter tonight. That's the hardest thing for me about living abroad with my (adult)kids being state side- I don't get to see them as often as I'd like.
ReplyDeleteThe film covering stops the ability to see through and it was hard to still make it look like glass - so I thank you!
DeleteAt least I will be able to drive eight hours to see my daughter whereas you have to fly more than that to see your kids. I bet they love to visit you though, I remember I found the light magical on Malta.
Lovely painting. I especially love the background blue colors. I have two daughters and I know you will miss her very much. I wish her well in her new job.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the background - thank you and how very nice of you to wish my daughter well, Catherine.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting - I know that you are sad to see them go!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Your watercolor is as unique as your oils. Very interesting treatment.
ReplyDeleteChildren are the biggest joy and it hurts so much to see them go off on their own.....and yet we are so proud to see them become independent.
Great painting. You handle watercolors beautifully. And daughters.......I wish her well and know how much you will miss her. Think how much you can paint as hubby drives for 8 hours!
