I love these complementary colors. This is a beautiful landscape.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
Oh Julie I am so glad you are back! I have missed my daily 'fracturing fix' :0
ReplyDeleteLovely work as usual and I am now also a follower of the Art Room!
Yes, you have been very quiet. I'm down with the flue, 3rd day with a fever.
ReplyDeleteBeen missing your your rich color and brushwork and this one is another beauty!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful painting, nice colours and very interesting technique !!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
The cranes are wonderful but look at those mountains! Wow1 So sculptural:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your painting too. Take care:)
Yay! She's back! I love this landscape painting....wonderful expressive strokes of paint ..just luscious!
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing how you captured the reflection of the trees in the river. This is so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteJulie, once again I see the rich, rich colors that you give your landscape. Love the depth. And so enjoying the Art Room. Artists are so generous.

I wish I had a memory that would allow me to paint a landscape this gorgeously just like that ! Julie, thank you so much for your lovely comment on my last work .
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scene, Julie....The water is painted so perfectly..... and please don't leave us again... LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo obviously painted with deep emotion and love for this spot in the world. Lovely as always, Julie and so glad you are back to blogging!
ReplyDeleteJulie - 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Julie!
