Serenity and Strength
I’m excited to share that this colorful, and moody, seascape entitled “Serenity and Strength” will be on view this weekend. It’s 2×6 inches, painted in oils on Arches oil paper, matted in an 11×14 mat and sealed in a Krystal Seal Envelope. Here’s your online view:
Stop by the Forest Park Art Walk and enter your name and email for a drawing to win this colorful work of art. I loved painting this from my imagination earlier this fall. A painting like this helps me stop, even if for a minute, and appreciate being alive!

What’s your favorite
Before I sign off as your color connector, I have a question for you. What’s your favorite color? I’m curious and would love to hear from you in the comments below
Love this painting, Julie! You captured the range of contrasting colors in this seascape so well – from the deep violet/blues in the water to the iridescent green of the wave’s crest; not to mention the sun’s peachy strip against the cloudy sky. A feast for the eyes!
Very excited for you, too, regarding the Forest Park Art Walk! I’m sure it will be a smash! xoxo
Hi Alexandra! TY so much for your thoughtful, art-filled observations of this painting! xoxo
Beautiful painting! I love that bit of orange in the right corner, and also find the painting inspiring of gratitude!
Hi Laura, TY and how lovely that you see gratitude in the horizon. xoxo
A dream of a seascape to me! Wish I was on the circuit and could enter my name! There is so much color and wave texture in that comes to me with staring at it. I particularly appreciate art that draws me in the way this does.
All shades of purple are my favorite!
Hi Beth, Thank youuuu and I wish you lived nearby toooooo. Noting your purple preference and can’t believe I never knew that! xoxo
Hi Julie- can I enter my name for this painting? I’d be there if I could—-
Perhaps it’s the darker colors that draw me into the painting? Or maybe my love for the ocean and its many moods? Then there’s the bright green wave crest- so many things to appreciate about this painting.
Good luck this weekend! You’ve worked hard to make this inviting and successful.
Hi Kathyyyy – Oh you cheekie sister ;-D I wish I could but gotta keep this local and in real life. TY for all the good artistic words and wishes! xoxo
