    Calming to paint and calming to view. The composition, brushstrokes, and colors are lovely. Very beautiful, Julie.

    Hi Julie, beautiful painting. You are just painting away while I, after the 30 day challenge in Sept., have just done very little! Busy with life's other things, but will soon be back in full force! Enjoy seeing your new creations.

      Thanks Celia and I love the story on the Hunger Games, but the best part was your little dog sketch.
