Artist Note
I finally had time to paint this
amazing sunrise view
from my visit to the Bosque in the Fall.
(If you look carefully at this
on the early morning of the 25th
you will see the Santa's sleigh
going across the light!!)
I held my annual December
Fracturing Technique Workshop
Fracturing Technique Workshop
and it was a pure delight for me
due to a very compatible
and also
a talented group of artists
who were willing to push themselves
into new territory.
Thank you all for honoring me
with your painting trust.
Now it is MY time to paint
before the new classes start in January.
I have a Do Not Disturb sign on
my studio door.
My friends are honoring it!
We have been blessed with
not selling the house yet
and so my kids & families
are coming in for one last
holiday blast in the home we all love.
Wishing every one of you who
follow this blog, a wonderful
Christmastime of Love, Peace, and Hope.
May our fine military forces,
the first responders everywhere
and especially the amazing firefighters
in California
get to be home or at least be able to
skype/facetime their loved ones
for the holidays.
I will be back before
the New Year.

Truly glorious, Julie! The intensity of this amazing sunrise takes my breath away. Those little areas of warmth in the foreground just link everything together.
