"A Windy Day in Pear-is", Colorado Artist Julie Kirkland, Small Oil Paintings, Pears
These three pears appeared to me to be battling a fierce head wind, but I was at a loss for a title. My Facebook friends came up with at least 24 great options, but I loved Genevieve Snyder's pick "A Windy Day in Pear-is." This painting is for sale for $250.00. Contact me by email for more information:info@juliekirkland.com.

And so it begins.....
Welcome to the first step in my blogging adventure! What you're likely to witness here is my delight and my struggle on my journey to become a better painter. I'll start with my latest exercise, "Plum Crazy." I'm taking part in a weekly online painting challenge sponsored by "Daily Paintworks." This assignment was to paint the same thing 8 times, spending only 10 minutes on each one. I had so much fun that I'm likely to repeat this often!
