Spring Run-off


Spring Runoff
6x8 inches oil on panel $140.
Purchase HERE

Artist Note
I am really drawn to the sound
of a bubbling stream and
singing birds.
Rejuvenation!


Computer Issue follow up.
Thank heavens
the solution was found for 
my computer woes!!
I have to thank fellow artist and blogger
Lauren.
She emailed privately and so 
I will not put her last name  but 
we have followed each other's
work for a few years now and 
she has helped me before.

The solution was to enable 
third party cookies in Settings.
Simple eh?
Bless YOU, dear Lauren.

      I like the word fresh - thank you, Celia.
      Your drooping sunflower has such a wonderful relaxed
      feel to it making great negative spaces.

    I missed the last post in which you told of the computer problems - glad you got them fixed.

    Both the Sunrise and Spring Run-off are superfantasticoloically-gorgeous. I love looking at them as they appear on screen then clicking on them to enlarge; back and fro. It's like looking at them from afar and then close up; in doing so you move through that magic barrier that separates a complete 'picture' from a close look at the 'brush' strokes.

      I really enjoyed seeing the different areas of your studio, John.
      That giant glass table/palette is especially brilliant!
      Thanks for the neat description of looking at my painting. Beaming here in New Mexico!

    So glad to hear about your computer fix! I've been thinking of you, and how much precious time we spend on these frustrations... Loved the sunrise and this beautiful piece as well. My husband and I will be traveling from Maine to your beautiful state in April and can't wait to see some of these sights, so different from our neck of the woods! Thank you for all that you share Julie, you and your work are inspirational. :)

      Hi Shelley - I loved your lovely rose and may I say thank you for including me on your new post with such a lovely complement - and for introducing me to the work of two other wonderful artists.
      If you come my way I sure hope you get in touch.

      I am happy too. The computer always takes a lot of precious time but this last ordeal was five times longer to get through the comments.
      Congratulations on helping raise money for the animals. So worth while.

      Happy Days indeed. Thanks Chris,
      I enjoyed seeing the Lion batik you painted and reading the words of Mark Twain. He said it perfectly.

    Beautiful action in this striking painting with the flow of the water and the delicate leaves on the trees that must flutter at the slightest breeze. The work is not just a visual pleasure, but an auditory one, too, because my mind always HEARS the rushing water as I take in the visual pageant.

      Thank you, Blanche, I am delighted you like it. I feel the same way about your new painting of the apple - the color harmony is beautiful.

      You have made my day - thanks so much Susan.
      Wish I could paint like you. Especially the wonderful way you paint all animals. Your hound painting is so fabulous.

    I always marvel at the amount of colours you 'build' into your paintings, this is another gorgeous example .

    I love Spring Run Off Julie. I think there is something about running water that brings calm. So glad you were able to correct your computer woes! I can totally relate. My problems are more very slow internet connections, but I'm going to keep your correction in my head.
