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

Wonderful use of lines for shading! I like the color version better. Actually I think drawings where the proportions are less than perfect are more interesting to the eye.
That is very good. I really like the glass. Wish I could give the impression on liquid in a glass better. Great job.
Julie, I have one of those toothbrushes. Very good job. You did not stop with the toothbrush. I like the way you handled the shading in the background
Lovely- I particualrly like the glass!
lorigrace, I agree, without flaws it just ends up being photo realism and then you might as well have photography.
Andreia thanks, like the new blog - thought I might give it a plug with my illustration friday post.
Sioux I think the trick with all these odd things like refraction and reflection is to try and draw what you actually see rather than what you think it should look like.
Jean, marilyn, brightside and ken thanks for visiting and all your praise.
Julie -- this is great! In fact, all in all you outdid yourself this time!
Come on, Julie! Haven't you discovered battery operated toothbrushes, yet?
Love the detail!
So do you swallow the toothpaste then? - A delightfully chatty drawing - thank you. And no, we don't have lovely red telephone boxez in Oz - my memory paintings are based on a St Andrews (Fife) childhood. Alison in Canberra
I love this one! great use of lines for shadows and depth.

great catching of the light, love the detail and the explanations, and the mouseover going to BW is really a cool idea...
I love this!!! so detailed
Great work!
Thanks Linda, been looking at your archives to get some ideas for which watercolours to order.
Cream - I'm too mean to fork out for batteries. The money saved will go towards a bathroom makeover and this time there will be sockets for the toothbrushes.
Alison, no it just need to re-charge in my bedroom.
Lauren you're obviously a girl who things you can never have too many blogs
Thanks Rachel and anastasia

Really appreciate your kind words Cin.
Beautiful, love this! Everything about it works, and the colors are perfect!
