Invitation to Linger
Why offer an invitation to linger? I can’t wait to share. But before diving into this week’s post, here’s a bit about me. And, if you are seeking weekly, colorful paintings in your world (and why not, right?), you can sign up here.
Onward to take a look at this week’s painting.
Ideal Invitation
In my mind, there’s very little that’s better than a chance to take in a view of the seashore. So here’s your invitation to join me and linger at a view of the coast. This painting is 36 x 36 inches (ha-uge for me ;-D), painted in oils on gallery wrapped canvas(meaning it’s ready to hang). In fact, I’m excited to share that this painting will be on my gallery wall this Friday. But first here’s the painting.
See It in Person
Here’s your invitation to see this colorful work of art.
Art Opening

5:00PM to 8:00PM
This Friday evening, stop by my gallery wall (in Building 1 row 2 and/or ask the friendly front desk for directions to it) and enter your name for an art giveaway! I’ll be drawing a name at 6:30PM. The lucky winner will have the chance to choose one painting from 5 framed, 6×6 inch delightful paintings on view. I’ll have many other colorful paintings, on view too. And, as I have mentioned before, even just looking at art is soooo very good for you!
So stop on by and say ‘hello!’ I look forward to seeing you.

Absolutely gorgeous painting! Took me directly to the beach where I love to “linger”.
Best of luck and enjoy your Richmond showing!
Hi Patty, Thank you so much fellow beach “lingerer!” I am so looking forward to the show in Richmond. TY and soooo nice to hear from you here. xoxo
Wonderful painting, Julie! I love the colors and composition with the close by flora and faraway colorful sky and rolling waves. It definitely made me feel like I’m lingering at the beach. And I’m excited about the size, too! Have a wonderful time this Friday in Richmond! xoxo
Hi Alexadraaaaa, The size is a whole new adventure to me and shazam it was fun to do. TY for your thoughtful observations, oh mighty painter pal! xoxo
Truly lovely painting, Julie!!!!!!!!! Bravo!

Love this painting and it’s expansiveness, both figuratively and literally. Those grasses in the foreground add such richness to it.

Hi Beth, Thank youuuuuu – yes to everything and lots o love to youuuu! xoxo
