    This is so stunning Julie! I love seeing how similar your watercolor technique is to your oils!! No wonder it has sold already!! Do you use a similar palette of colors in w/c as to your oil colors? (I'm wondering what colors you do use in w/c?) Simply beautiful!!!

    Love the softness in this piece. The colorful flowers and the blue and white pieces make for a great looking painting. This piece really draws me in. Super!

    I love this 'experiment'. It looks like porcelain, What a difficult mark to hit (perfectly)!

    Amazing. So soft and yet so powerful. My eye flits between the flowers which always draw me and the beautiful porcelain. Such detail. Yes.

    My...but you sure got a lot of information onto a 5x7 format! I love everything about it..the colors and composition and the liveliness of the brushwork!

    OMG! This is so beautiful and energetic and so luminous and has such depth! I had no idea this was a watercolor. Amazing how you expand such a small surface.

    This is stunning and you get so much in a 7" x 5". It is beautiful on so many levels.
