I kind of think a blog needs a picture or avatar but who would want to look at a photo of my middle-aged sagging face, so I'm using this wonderful flattering portrait that my dear friend Shulay drew of me many years ago when we were girls behaving badly at the Royal College of Art. I think the pink marks round the edge of the picture might be splashes of red wine!

This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are daughter – Flo, eldest son – Tom, second son – Hugo and third son – Xavier.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with caring for my family and earning a living.
And talking about earning a living, if you need a good all round graphic designer please visit my business website to see if I can help you.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to julie at julieoakleydesign dot com

This is a wonderful portrait. But as for middle-aged sagging and those who might (or might not) want to view it, I love faces, the older the better as long as they haven't had any "work" done. Age adds character and interest to a face, much moreso than the freshness of youth.
But then, being 34 perhaps that's just wishful thinking on my part! *LOL*
