Julie,this is beautiful,I always loved your landscape works,such a softness to them and wonderfully composed,this reminds me of the large farm i grew up on in New York,we had some wonderful trees to climb and beautiful rolling fields that smelled sweet with hay toward cutting time,those were good times.
Artist Reply: Ruth, thanks so very much for your lovely comments and also the great reminiscences! Yes, the old fashioned farms had so much to offer !
This is one of my most favorite of your works. Of those elements i like most is your palette which is right out of the late 1930's or 1940's, which gives a nostalgic feel. Second is the way you brought the composition together with diagonal strokes of light earth-tone colors. Then you have fixed the center of interest by using the intense autumn colors of the trees in the distance, and juxtaposing the linear elements of the farm structures against the abstract shapes of the foliage. Another first rate work Julie!
Artist Reply: Stanton, You always have something interesting to say... and as always you see things that apparently I only do instinctively. I do not seem to analyze the work as I paint it... it just flows. Your comments are so very learned! thank you for the positive energy you have instilled into my feelings toward this work! :-)
This painting is made even more attractive by the texture in your strokes; adds to that rustic feel of a barn scene. This painting makes me want to take my various barn photos and turn them into art! That's called inspiration and almost every painting of yours inspires me. This is great stuff, Julie!
Artist Reply: Sharla, your comments are much appreciated and I am happy that you find my work inspirational! See big smiles! :-))))
This is just GORGEOUS!!! Are you on FineArtAmerica? They have free sites like ArtWanted, but their printing service is very very good.
Artist Reply: Many thanks for your great comment, Donna!!! Yes, I am on FineArtAmerica, and they do have a good printing service as I have gotten some nice quality greeting cards from them in the past.
