I'm always experimenting and trying something a little outside the box. I think a little bit weird and a little bit edgy makes something otherwise ordinary more interesting. </div>

I completed this painting of Frida Kahlo today. She's been a longtime hero of mine. Not only was she beautiful and talented but she had dignity and grace and overcame a lot of adversity. I know it's trendy for artists to paint her, but she was such a captivating woman so it makes sense that she's so popular.Juliettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17651015508397610577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174982590394828874.post-1518443990026243312018-12-17T22:14:00.001-07:002018-12-17T22:16:11.035-07:00Stolen Kiss<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought it would be a fun challenge to make the woman's hair expressive abstract art. I used the salt technique to add texture to the man's shirt. I'm really pleased with the final outcome. </div>

Utah is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world! It's tempting to take what's close by for granted and overlook the beauty in your own backyard. So we've decided to spend some weekends exploring the nearby wonders. </div>

And the weekend before last we finally went to Goblin Valley, a place I've wanted to see for years. It rained nearly the whole time, but it was still a fun and relaxing adventure. What's next?

I ran into my all-time favorite high school art teacher and when he found out I was experiencing a major creative slump he recommended I try a different medium to mix things up. Acrylics are my first love but I decided to give watercolor portraiture a shot and turns out I really enjoy it! </div>

I was in a big time creative slump and decided to try something new and playful. Hence the magazine collage. I had a blast making it and kind of felt like a kid again. I'll definitely have to do another one sometime.Juliettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17651015508397610577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174982590394828874.post-23518403514036680292018-06-19T02:09:00.000-06:002018-06-19T02:10:42.229-06:00Yet Another Caribbean Cruise<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Truth be told, I'm addicted to cruises. In March I went on my seventh. I know--I sound totally spoiled but it's more doable than you'd think. Did you know you can find cruises for up to 80% off? The whole package, which includes accommodations, all the food you can eat, transportation from one island to the next and entertainment, can often be cheaper than a night at a hotel. And it's so much more relaxing than your typical vacation. Okay, I didn't intend on sounding like an infomercial, I just love cruising!</div>

They're loyal, they're smart, they're gentle. They come from exotic lands and represent good luck. Elephants have been a long-time favorite animal of mine so I thought it was time I did another elephant painting. (I haven't done one in years.) </div>

Looky! My art is currently hanging at Urban Arts Gallery in Salt Lake City as part of the Best of 2017 show. It will be there for the rest of this month. Check it out!

This time I experimented with collage and color. I drew the figure on the canvas then glued random pieces of paper on before painting. I also wanted to make the colors a little more off than usual. I made her skin lavender and chose complimentary color yellow for her lips and the background. It was nice mixing it up. Artists have to keep trying new things or they'll quickly get bored! I feel the risk paid off. I look forward to doing more collage portraits.Juliettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17651015508397610577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174982590394828874.post-21388180303298848572017-09-20T12:40:00.000-06:002017-09-20T12:40:19.556-06:00Maggie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maggie was one of the best things to ever happen to me. She played a role in my emotional healing. She was a Pomapoo. The Poodle in her made her have wavy hypoallergenic hair, the Pomeranian side of her made her want to sit on my lap all the time. While I watched a movie or TV, while I read, she even tried to while I painted. One day I had a stomach bug and stayed in bed all day. She was by my side the whole time. As simple as that was, it meant so much to me. Animals are truly healing. I miss Maggie so much, six or seven years after we had to find her a new home because we were moving. She brought healing and comfort to her next family, who'd just gone through a painful divorce. </div>

I've been meaning to do her portrait for awhile now. I'm pleased with the outcome. I've had other dogs, but Maggie was unusually special. I look forward to seeing her again in the next life. </div>
