The Long View
6"x 6" oil on canvas wrap 1 1/2 wide $140 SOLD
see below
Artist Note
One of the joys of a high spot
is the lovely long view you get.
This is Colorado.
I usually paint on panels
but had a couple of these gallery wraps
canvases and yes...as you can see, I
actually painted around the edges.
The advantage of these type
of canvases is they do not
have to be framed or hung
but can stand on their own
anywhere you want to put them
Back before I started fracturing
I used to paint Calla Lilies
in this format. I would paint the edge
or pop them in this floater frame.
The 6"x6" size you get 6 of them for 40 bucks
less than 10. a frame.
I would spray them a color to match
the painting or even leave them natural.
They were very popular.
Love the long view in this painting and the eye-catching spark of colors !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. Love your flowers
DeleteThis is so appealing, Julie. I can almost breathe that crisp autumn air! You painted the edges so cleverly; your image flows wonderfully naturaĺly around them. As is often the case with your paintings, this appears as if it might be much larger than 6x6. You manage to capture plenty of detail, yet retain your impressionist style. How masterful you are! (I also like these deep canvases for the same reasons you do. Panels are easy to ship, but these canvases are super for gallery pieces, whether framed or unframed.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a great comment, Helene. You always pay us the complement of really “looking” at the painting
DeleteI was admiring your new painting, Book Club. A very special glimpse into the future.
You can feel a crisp breeze. Well done as always Julie.
ReplyDeleteHi Blanche, hows the painting challenge coming along? I love what you have done so far.
Deletelove the rainbow colours :D
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. Your gryphon is coming great.
DeleteJulie, it looks even better when you see the fullness of it with the sides painted. Marvelous!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. Happy you like it. Thanks.
DeleteHope all is well in your world.
Julie what gorgeous colors you have captured here. I really love the wrap around affect; it makes displaying the painting so much more versatile. Hope friend your New Year is off to a great start. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debbie. Yes, off to a great start. Painted violets... you have them on your blog too. Mine are purple. Loved your post with the perfect word...Peace.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful painting Julie. Gorgeous colors and love the light hitting the trees... a perfect Fall scene ...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilda. How are you healing? Getting better each day I hope. Sending a hug.
DeleteWonderful blaze of color to grab your attention! I love the highlights on the birch tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan. I enjoyed reading about the Urban Sketchers celebrations and seeing your sketches. Laughed out loud when I had looked for peacocks before I read the comments!
Deletebeautiful images.
ReplyDeletehappy new year
Thank you so much for commenting, Tanza I really enjoyed reading your art post.
DeleteYour painting is lovely, Julie! There are so many "long views" in Colorado. It's scenic everywhere you look. Love those big, strong trees in front. Aspen? Poplar? Birch? Beautiful color contrasts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. I presume they were aspens (because we were near Aspen!) but know how the silver birch looks so similar.
ReplyDeleteHope you7 are continuing to get back to normal and look forward to seeing new work soon.
