Girl With Cat 2

If you can't tell by now, I love animals. Like love them-love them. Love them so much, I watch animal documentaries, visit pet stores for a free zoo-like experience (and to torture myself), draw them at church, pet nearly every cat and dog in sight, and cry whenever I think of Maggie, my dog I had to give up five years ago and can't stop thinking about.

Dream

I made this today. It consists of faux fur, cork, collage materials, metal and rusty bottle caps. I've been picking up rusty bottle caps for years. I finally found a use for them.

Park City

My mom, sister and I have an annual tradition to visit Park City every spring. We eat amazing food, savor the art at the numerous galleries, swim, shop, watch lame TV and act like idiots. I look 

forward to this time every year.

The Roaring 20s!

For the past several years, I've had a thing for the 1920s, particularly the style and fashion. Even my wedding getup had a '20s feel. But lately I'm obsessed with the era. I'm sure Downton Abbey didn't help matters. 

 I've started making flapper rag dolls, altered art dolls and even '20's themed collages.

I discovered the adorable actress Colleen Moore and have put three of her photos up in my bedroom! Louise Brooks is another favorite. Someday I want to wear a gorgeous flapper dress and wear it to someplace nice.

S+K

My brother, who also happens to be a talented film maker and one of my best friends, got married recently. I decided to surprise him and his lovely wife by painting their portrait as a wedding gift. I was pleased as punch by their reaction--and that they hung it in a prominent spot in their new home.

First painting of the year! Happy 2015! I got new stencils for Christmas--can you tell? I like how this painting has a sort of bohemian vibe.

Amen

2014 Year in Review

It was a wonderful year. It was a challenging year.

I got to meet my brother in NYC and then ride the bus to DC.

I FINALLY met my boyfriend, Johnny Depp. Even wax Johnny Depp is hot.

I did LOTS of intense therapy. It was very painful. Healing is wonderful but it HURTS. I can't even tell you how many panic attacks I had. 

 I went to the zoo. I love animals the way most people love chocolate and peanut butter. 

I met two of my favorite bands, Neon Trees and Phantogram. I also went to some awesome shows: Twenty-One Pilots, Morrissey, I took my girls to Paramore, plus I saw Broods, Phantogram, Capital Cities, and Neon Trees.

The man I did my first ever portrait commission for years ago (family aside) was convicted of murdering his wife (who he had me paint a month after he killed her). He wanted me to "immortalize her". Of course I didn't know it at the time. Creepy!

I published two books. A silly one with my brother and a novel. It's been a dream of mine since I was twelve. Buy your copy here:  http://www.amazon.com/Pictures-You-Juliette-Caron/dp/1499380771/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401157690&sr=8-1&keywords=juliette+caron

I tried landscape painting for the first time since junior high. 

And animals.

I joined Displate, where one can buy metal art prints. Check it out: http://displate.com/juliettecaron

I made it into my first art directory. That was exciting!!!

Went on a short trip to Arizona. 

Sedona is freakin' beautiful!

And last, but not least, I sold seventeen original paintings and fifteen prints! Dreams DO come true, folks. :)

Antique Store Finds

I love collecting little knick-knacks.

Arizona Trip

The husband and I went of a short weekend trip to Arizona.

Here we are in Jerome, one of our favorite little art towns. 

 Sedona takes my breath away.

I love the red rocks.

Doesn't get much prettier than this, folks.

Art Diretory

Looky! I'm in my first art directory! I feel so legit.

Present Tense

It's been awhile since I've painted a couple. I titled it Present Tense because being newly in love is one of those times that is so magical, it forces you to be in the moment. A lot of us fear for the future, or assume tomorrow brings all the answers. A lot of us are stuck in the past--we romanticize it or we have regrets. But true happiness lies in the present moment.

Gold Eyed Cat

I'm having a lot of fun taking a break from painting women and trying my hand at animals. I'm really pleased with the colors in this one.
