34 months ago.
I did a series of lemons and shiny cans
It was a real challenge to see how far I
could fracture the cans and not lose the ridges.
Did not want them stiff so it was a case of
fracture
repaint,
fracture,
repaint.
I should try them again and see if it is any easier.
Sorry about it pulling up the old comments
but neat to see familiar names.

I always thought the joy of painting remains in the works! And in your works there remains so much joy to the eyes that look!Greetings,Rita.
ReplyDeleteA lovely thing to pass on to me - thank you. Rita.
DeleteI so thoroughly enjoy your work. Am loving the bright colors. I find your brushwork exciting and the way you set and paint your subjects. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. I love the colors you use too.
DeleteI don't think I can ever get tired of these beautiful paintings, Julie...I'm amazed at how quickly you paint them...love the red colander..!
ReplyDeleteThey are not quick considering the size of the little suckers! I spent about four hours on this yesterday. Could not get it right. Only when I threaten death did it fall in line.
DeleteNever will I be fed up with bright colors! I am interested in this fracturing technique, is there a post that explains it in more detail? Circular composition keeps my eye moving.
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy painting it is! Love the brightness and composition.
ReplyDeleteHappy is perfect. These colors are my meds of choice!
DeleteJulie, these still lifes are wonderful! I had to look up "fracturing" as that is a term I've never heard related to art. (Just oil drilling!)
ReplyDeleteAre all these done with a palette knife, or is it a combination of brush and knife. I'd love to watch you paint one of these.
Glad you are liking them. Fracturing is a name I came up to help explain my process when I teach. I use a combination of brush and knife. I would love to see ME paint one of these!
DeleteMy mind is working non stop all the way through. Still not at the stage with it where I can go into the zone.
Love the red colander Julie...and there is no way I would ever tire of your art.
ReplyDeleteMust be off to paint this girl...she is still looking like a zombie, but less so since it's daylight. :)
You are so nice, Lisa. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the girl finished.
Deleteloving your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherrie - your landscapes are fabulous!
DeleteI'm happy seeing your beautiful, cheerful colors and the variety of compositions of lemons - each one a welcome surprise!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad you are not bored with lemons yet.
DeleteJulie, your work is breathtaking. Oh I am so glad to finally get over to your blog. Must sit back and enjoy the rest of your post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
How nice of you Joan, thank you.
DeleteI really like your journals with the beautiful watercolors.
I enjoy your work Julie, beautiful colors and the process you use sounds exciting! I agree with you small doesn't equal quick!!
ReplyDeleteYou know Julie, the funny thing with re-posting...I am seeing things in a new light...and it brings 'more to the table' than ever before. It's really been helpful re-reading some of your thoughts on techniques, methods, insights, etc. We are all quite (or at least somewhat) different from who we were in 2012....and I'm getting a lot out of this! I can only imagine the creativity building up while you're on your 'plateau'. my best wishes to you as you 'travel through that part of life's journey'. Hugs, and thanks for all the good blog-scoop!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is fun to see old posts. I didn't know it would re-post the comments too. Your paintings remain beautiful. I hope you are able to get to painting again Julie. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating, Julie. The way you made those common tin cans into something beautiful is magical. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing any and all your works! This is such a good reminder about how your technique is so great for interesting edges that help 'un-stiffen' certain subjects like these fabulous cans! super :)
ReplyDeleteThis has always been one of my favorites of yours. The bright colors really speak to me. Hope you are feeling better and back behind the easel soon. :)
