What a beautiful painting--those flowers look so fresh and that building is a gorgeous color. Small wonder that it is sold! A buyer with great taste.
ReplyDeleteFresh sunflowers do have a joy about them don't they?
DeleteThanks celeste
Crazy color on that house, but on the other hand, it gives you the chance to paint this symphony of colors. Is there anything more summer like than this painting?
ReplyDeleteI blinked a few times when I first saw the house. It was the purple. We get lots of blues but the purple was a bonus touch.
DeleteLove your nest/eggs painting.
The colors work well together. The linear lines of the house help to balance out the chaos of the sunflowers. Beautiful painting!!
ReplyDeleteI like your term, chaos, perfectly suited.
DeleteI also liked your fruit and title.
How beautiful!!! Julie, you've never painted a piece that I haven't loved. Your taste and sense of composition are unbeatable. And thank you so much for getting my wry sense of humor. I think it must come off as being depressed or sad or complaining. Often it is just self-deprecating humor. LOL
ReplyDeleteNot always sure but that was was soooo funny. But - say it wasn't meant to be. Oh boy I would be in trouble.
DeleteThanks for the lovely complement.
How beautiful these sunflowers look ...especially against the blue door! Congratulations on selling it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda - hope your holiday weekend was fabulous.
DeleteJust love that turquoise color every time-especially with the yellows. And I second the motion for living in the US-it's great to be a citizen!
ReplyDeleteYes...two of us. Nice. thanks Libby. Loving your figure paintings.
DeleteWhat a terrific playground of colors!! They all bounce off of each other in wonderful ways, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful comment on my Fourth of July post. You made my day.
Happy Independence Day!!
You write the BEST posts on our holidays, Dean, and I look forward to them.
DeleteThese colors couldn't have been better if you made them up! Exciting:) I did buy a watermelon in honor of the 4th!
ReplyDeleteGlad you won the coin toss for the painting.
DeleteI bet your watermelons are great in Malta.
Julie - this is such a beautiful and cheerful painting. What a baby blue color and sunflowers - aren't they the best?? I echo your sentiments too about the Fourth of July. After all the last time I checked we are still free!! God bless.

Dear Julie, have good Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteThe painting with sunflowers are so cheerful, with the combination of colors!
It puts the desire to come to visit the beautiful place where you live, to rejoice in that gorgeous light!
We have a great guest room just waiting for you Rita.
DeleteSunflowers are cheerful but even so they are not my favorite flower. I love the freesia and calla lilies.
Happy fourth! And such happy flowers and happy house. Bright and cheery. Great painting for a celebration,
ReplyDeleteHi Helen - hope your 4th plus the weekend will be well spent. Your boat painting is really wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHi Sharon - thanks so much. Love the rocks. She has a good teacher.
DeleteThis painting is simply delightful Julie! I like that you used the word "vibrate"...it's so so true. Makes me want to paint my shutters turquoise and plant sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to see blue shutters in a Lisa painting. There have to be some in that imagination of yours.
DeleteYou just did a smashing painting with a window and curtain... so go outside that room and what do you see?
