Putting on the Dots

Whenever I play with patterns, this little guy shows up front and center. This time I think he's imagining how he would look in orange polkadots.

Pikes Peak Studio Tour

Julie Kirkland Fine Art Mark your calendars now for the 2014 Pikes Peak Studio Tour When: Saturday September 20th, 10 am to 5 pm Sunday September 21st, 10 am to 5 pm Where: 7224 Big Valley Ct, Colorado Springs  www.pikespeakstudiotour.com I'm welcoming you to visit my home studio during   the Pikes Peak Studio Tour. Many of you have stopped by my Old Colorado City studio in the Garman building, but the tour is a chance to see me in my home studio.  In past tours, I've set up a quasi-studio for demo purposes because my actual "studio" has been more of an art storage facility with a narrow path to an easel in the corner.  I spent this winter unearthing and organizing what is now a very pleasant creative space that I'd love for you to see! As part of the tour experience, I'll again be giving away an original painting.  Be sure to register for a chance to win it when you stop by! I'm excited to have plenty of new paintings to show for the weekend!   A brand new selection of prints and cards will be here for you to enjoy along with some old favorites.  Start your holiday shopping and look for my blank Christmas cards featuring the image of my watercolor,"The Gift." I have items starting from $5, so you're sure to find something that you like.   The Gift Flowers, figures, animals and landscapes, my subject matter offers something for everyone. Come see what has been inspiring me these days and how my work is evolving!                                  If you are unable to make it during the tour weekend, you can find me during the October 3rd OCC Artwalk 5:00 to 8:00 pm Friday, October 3rd 2418 West Colorado Ave, Studio L Upstairs in the Michael Garman building Hope that you're happier than a pig in mud!

Another painting of my pig friend, still splashing around in his puddle.  He is currently at Poor Richard's Restaurant in Downtown Colorado Springs.  Hanging along with him are many other small animal paintings, and my famous donuts.  You can purchase him through the Pay Pal link above, or by visiting the restaurant.

A mother bear and her three cubs occasionally stroll through my yard looking for something tasty. On this particular day, they hung around long enough for me to get a lot of photos. They were actually very obliging as they modeled just 6 feet away from my sliding glass door. In particular, this young guy struck several classic bear poses for me.  

This painting is available for purchase at Colorado Expressions Gallery, 122 Kiowa Ave, Colorado Springs, (719) 258-9168.
