"Home from School", Colorado Artist Julie Kirkland, Contemporary Realism Paintings, Daily Paintings

Walking down a busy street in Paris, I caught a glimpse of this very charming scene. A little girl was arriving home from preschool and her father was at the open door welcoming her home. I plan to paint a larger version including the father; he just didn't fit on this little canvas! This framed 3 x 4" oil painting is a little jewel and can be purchased for $80, tax and shipping included. Contact me at info@juliekirkland.com

"The Sage," Colorado Artist Julie Kirkland, Contemporary Realism, Dog Paintings, Boxer


This older, wiser boxer is the father of the enthusiast that you met earlier this week.  I think that his eyes capture the longsuffering tolerance of a mature father toward his still-a-puppy son.  This 8 x 8 oil can be yours for $250, including tax and shipping.  Contact me with any questions about this painting or if you'd like to talk to me about commissioning a portrait of your pet.

"The Enthusiast" Julie Kirkland, Dog Portraits, Colorado Contemporary Realism Artist, small oil paintings


Walking in a wildlife sanctuary one day, two boxers introduced themselves to me by wrapping their leashes around my legs until I was immobilized. It turns out that they were a father/son team and their enthusiasm for the outdoors was contagious. They are beautiful dogs and I painted the son, Jerry, first because I can't resist the life in his face. An alternative title for this 8 x 8 inch oil could have been "The Clown" as I understand that boxers are considered the clowns of the dog world. Hang this painting in your home or office and be greated each day with the bounding delight of "The Enthusiast." $250 plus tax and shipping. Contact me with any questions about this painting or if you'd like to talk to me about commissioning a portrait of your pet. To email me, click on this link Julie Kirkland
