  2. This looks like it could be larger than 6 x 6...there is so much going on in such a quiet painting. It's quite beautiful.

    I finally sat down and read all of the Art Room feature on Artists Who Blog. It was an excellent write-up. It was great to see your work included in the article. The two paintings you picked were excellent choices, although I would have been hard-pressed to single out only two!

    Congratulations, Julie!

  7. Oh dear, Julie! You have hugs in spades from me. And never fear, you are always missed when we do not hear from you in a few days.

    I love this painting; so stunning and I have to keep going back for another look! Makes me wish I was standing there and viewing this scene myself. Admittedly, I never could have captured it so beautifully as you have done!

  16. Julie - this landscape is beautiful and to think it is from memory. Loved the picture of the Sandhill cranes. They are wonderful to see. Have heard of them seen any pictures before. They look like our herons here in Ohio. Hope you have lovely week-end.
