Brings a smile to my face as it reminds me of my friend in Ecuador who had paintings of poppies everywhere Only bar one ( a water colour of my mum's) they were quite brash not soft and gentle like your (or my mum's for that matter...and there's a complement for you).

[Dan Salter]

Very nice Julie...and native ones to boot !

[annmaria]

Your paintings are so light and delicate , you must be really pleased with this one.

Thanx Betty ...Been down with a bad cold over the past few days so i thought i would get the old paint brushes out and cheer myself up abit ...It always seems to do the trick..

Havent seem any work from you for a while ....its a shame to keep them all to yourself..

Another outstanding watercolour Julie.Very confidently done as usual.
Thanks for sharing.

Best from mike.

lovely Julie

[juliejam]

Thanx Kayleigh and Mike for your encouraging comments.....the good thing about watercolors there are no hard and fast rules no mistakes to be made...you can develope your own style...thats how i have looked at it throughout the yrs..which is good for me when all i want to do is to bring so much colour and light into each painting..

Beautiful picture, and it would make a stunning appliqué design too!

[Gill Catton]

I think this is your best yet - very loose and flowing - it feels like you have more improvision than illustration in this one which for me is a good thing. It captures not only poppies but how looking at poppies can make you feel.

if you know what I mean....

Julie,

That's really lovely - just the sort of thing I could hang on my wall.

Wish I could do that!

Jenny

[juliejam]

Thanx Gill..i never stick to the rules when painting flowers and have found you can get away with using most colours making it more personal...

Thanx Jenny I have around twenty paintings hanging up around the home..changing them every so often . Im still finding some tucked away in folders..Its nice to get them out once in a while its a good way of seeing how your style has developed and improved over the yrs.. I do believe there's always room for improvement..

Lovely paintings, juliejam. To be able to use watercolours that freely, yet also to be so precise and detailed in your 'pheasant' drawing, I think you're very talented. I'm green with envy!

Lovely piece of work Julie

Jeff

[badgerwatcher]

That's lovely Julie. Do you sell your work ever? I'd be interested in that one.

[JennyS]

Thanx jenny ...im sure it would ..so when ever your ready with the needle and thread... I could imagine it being a stained glass window , would look lovely with the sun shining through..

I think I sewed myself out making and selling patchwork quilts years back! But yes, stained glass window with the light coming through those colours

You sound very much alike...Ive been there done that..
