Anemones



Anemones
9" x 8 1/2" oil on canvas panel  $225. SOLD


Artist Note.
This is a weird size and 
 I cannot think how 
to crop it in any other way -
so this is it!

This one was fun for me because 
I can see all the colors much
better, and, as you know...
I love color!

Regarding my computer woes, 
(see the previous post)
they were fixed with
a complete close-down. 
I had to download everything
onto a hard-drive and then
install them again.
The IPad was then able 
to get caught up with  
redoing settings after getting rid
of cookie cache and re-setting
Passwords and Accounts.

Not easy and very frustrating
for this computer challenged gal!
Thanks for all the hints 
and support from you guys.
Jennifer hit it right.😊

    1. Happy you like the painting, Debra. Thanks. Yes, I am glad the computer woes are over...till they strike again!
      Curiosity is ongoing over your special find - what will you do? Staying tuned!

  2. This is so lovely!!! I tried following your advice about the iPad but couldn't find what you told me to do. I did do something to somehow install another version of blogger on the iPad. I did a test and was able to post, so maybe (fingers crossed) that will solve the problem when I am away. But I did notice that the photo I was trying to post was larger than the margins. I'll have to play around with it a bit more. Thanks!

    1. Hi Joan, good to know you eventually managed to get it to work. Can you resize the image? Mine is set to medium
      I enjoyed the variety on your blog from sketches to A Inks. Busy, busy gal!

    1. Always good to hear from you, dear, Jane. Thank you.
      I agree with you regarding "expectations." Yes, they should work perfectly ALL the time! Then I see people hitting vending machines...my hubby with remote cursing the TV...nah...it would put the repair people out of business.
      Love your clown abstract. Rich color and texture. Hope you do more.

    1. Thanks, Hilda. I really liked this one too so was very pleased when I found it was going to someone who has several of my paintings.
      Your remarkable "laughing" portrait is truly amazing. Gold star!

  5. Julie your impressionistic brush strokes just capture the essence of these anemones perfectly. I enlarged it on my screen so I could view it closer...the colors are breathtaking and I love the beautiful blue ginger jar vase and how you mirrored those colors in some of the blossoms. It is always such a treat to view your art friend. Hope you have a blessed week. Hugs!

    1. What a wonderful comment. Thanks so much, my friend. Yes, following the principle of repeating color. The jar is a well used one and I could paint it blindfolded.
      Thank you for such a caring post this week. Prayers for a more peaceful world too.

  8. This is simply lovely, Julie. The anemones look soft and velvety, but I especially admire how you painted the vase; I feel as if I could reach in and pick it up. You handle ceramic surfaces so well. (Your painting "Favorite Things" is one outstanding example that I admire, but there are so many!)

    1. Fancy that - you remembering Favorite Things!
      Happy your very discerning eye likes this one. I do too and I think it is because I am back to seeing well again. Those cataracts do weird things to an artists vision.
      Any more Gracie type paintings coming along? I loved her!
