After all the previous focus

my hearts content.

Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteCes roses sont d'une grande délicatesse. J'ai envie de me pencher afin de mieux les exhaler. Un très joli travail de lumière... et vos verts sont merveilleux.
❀ Gros bisous ❀
Thank you for this lovely comment, Martine. I am waiting for the painting you started...No Title Yet!
DeleteIt's beautiful Julie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. I lol at your photos of the elderly driver and your story.
DeleteI've read many times now that getting dissatisfied with ones work means you are now seeing it in a different light. Also called moving to a higher level, looking toward a higher point in your art. Looking at today's painting shows this. You are on your way upwards!
ReplyDeleteI actually had a physical problem which caused my dissatisfaction. It has been a struggle to get back in the groove so I am delighted you feel I have arrived back in good form. You are a treasure!
DeleteBeautiful work, Julie. You create such depth in your paintings. They have such a 3D effect tempting one to reach out and touch them. How you manage to put together such a delightful number of compelling, harmonious greens is always a wonder to me!
ReplyDeleteSo good to have you back posting, Carol. Love your pear and happy to hear hubby is much better.
DeleteI loved your greens too, and the yummy pink with them.
Beautiful greens, romantic roses... The feeling of roses and almost an abstract painting!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Julie!
Thank you Martine. I agree - a romantic painting.
DeleteI enjoyed seeing the exhibit you posted. Lucky you.
Great design and there is plenty of definition in the roses. Great color and light too!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to read your complements. Thanks, Carol. The light was what this one was all about.
DeleteI enjoyed seeing your dog portraits. Great job on them. I had a dickens trying to capture three dogs who had similar coloring. My hats off to you.
Whether focused on line or shape...your work is always stunning. The fracturing is so you and it's gorgeously done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Lisa, It was good just to fracture away and not worry about anything too much. hard to get away from the line after a month of using it for lessons at the Guild this month.
DeleteLove your vase of flowers and the blue chair sort of made the painting special. Nice setting.
Thanks for the recommendation for the movie Woman in Gold. We really enjoyed it.
An Italian book that has been very successful, has the title "Go where your heart takes you."After this book, now since many years this has become a motto that very often people say,and I love for my painting way.
ReplyDeleteGreat satisfaction, when painter goes where heart brings and makes these stunning roses !!!
I really like the flowers without vase, which could be a bouquet,or live on the plant, according to the mind of the observer.
I like the title of the book and I do think there is truth in.
DeleteLook at the beautiful portrait you did. You can tell just by looking at the sensitivity of the lines how much your heart was involved in it.
Thank you so much dear Rita for this special comment.
There is so much life and freedom in this beautiful rose painting , and the contrasts in light/ shadow is awesome !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. The fracturing prevents me from being too tight.
DeleteYour new landscape has really beautiful light.
And it is gorgeous Julie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry. Chin up!
DeleteAnother lovely result-even without any lines! LOL:) It's wonderful to be able to access such a variety of ways to express ourselves isn't it? These roses look so delicate.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You have a new logo by your name?
DeleteReal beautiful roses and they look so natural!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen and may I say the same about your lovely tulips!
DeleteWhat a splendid mix of realism and abstract. I love roses!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a series while they are in full bloom here.
DeleteI really liked your geraniums but your post is great too.
Great painting Julie! Love your roses! The paint looks thick...maybe someday I will see one of your works in person!
ReplyDeleteYes - I have some texture but it is not THAT thick like some painting can have.
DeleteI enjoyed your post on the plein air convention and am excited to attend next year. Congratulations on your painting getting such high praise from such prestigious artist. Well deserved. You nail values like no-one else.
Beautiful art Julie! I also painted roses recently, mine are not this real. Just learning going on :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed visiting your blog and seeing your lovely painting.
DeleteLearning never stops and thats why painting is always absorbing for me. I know I will never know it all.
Thanks for the visit.
Lovely feeling to this one Julie. Relaxed and gentle. Wonderful to wander through the painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely comment - thanks Helen. I like what you wrote on your new post and the resulting painting of the lemons is great.
DeleteIs this painting using the fracturing technique that you do in ArtBite? or a palette knife?
ReplyDeleteI think all the texture make this just stunning
Hi - yes, the fracturing technique does have an ArtByte - two actually. One shows the tools I use and the other is a video of the process. I use a knife and a brush.
DeleteI enjoy a bit of texture.
I enjoyed visiting your blog... and especially seeing your bird nest.
Wonderful!
Such elegant roses. Love them. Your fracturing technique really brings a level of abstractness to the painting. But when viewed from a distance, it looks so real. I really admire that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bhavani. I sometimes go even more abstract, but gradually find myself bringing it back.
DeleteI really like your streetcar painting - can't wait to see Portland in June.
You did it again - a stunner!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris.
DeleteI think that about your lemon painting too. Simply perfect!
Woo Hoo! I'm back (love that bird nest below) after 6 weeks and 24 000 miles of globetrotting. Before I went you were 'struggling' but I return to find you in glorious flight. Fracturing to you heart's content.. well done you! Love these roses to bits!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying life at the moment ... so give me a big smile and wave!1
Big SMILE and Waving!
DeleteLooking forward to reading about your trip.
Thanks for the visit.
I love how the light feels like it dances around the composition and the energy of the thick layers of paint within such a delicate subject. You bring all the elements together so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI treasure this comment. thank you so much, Celia.
DeleteWe do like similar things. Your market scene is great.
I seem to like everything you do.
Gorgeous painting, Julie! The color and light....all perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda - thanks my friend.
DeleteI keep looking for a new painting from you. Any day, right?
Very beautiful flower painting !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day Julie !!!
It has been a nice day - thank you.
DeleteI enjoyed my visit to Cyprus via your blog.
Very cheerful colour.Love your strokes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hani - it means something special from you.
DeleteLove your way with watercolor.
Dear Julie- so gorgeous. Your fracturing technique always is beautiful to see. I think I can almost smell those roses. Thank you also for visiting and welcoming our new addition. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThese roses actually had a marvelous smell, Debbie.
DeleteThe old fashioned, rich, rose smell. Most of them don't have it anymore.
Thanks for the visit, Debbie.
