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

love the colors. are your walls really apinted like that? great sketch.
The walls are a kind of metallic gold colour. The settees are a much darker blue.
Great sketch as usual, and Xaviers smiling face in the previous one.
I love to see polished boots/shoes but I just don't clean shoes, except for a funeral or a wedding!
Peceli and I always take shoes off at the door of a house so did so the other night at a progressive dinner. (Oz people, not Islanders.) Everyone else had shoes on and to me that's dirty. I've been in the South Pacific too long I think.

There's something very satisfying in getting a really good shine on your boots. With cadets it's expected of us. Hugo craftily has a pair of soft toed Doctor Martins which he says he can't shine.
Foot "display" can be very noticeable. I remember I was in Amsterdam once for Queens Day, a great festival. The custom was for folks to be selling things from outside their houses. From car boot rubbish, to food and drink or kids crafts. At one, a little girl (who reminded me of my Flo back home) was painting toe nails orange. (The festival colour - the Queen's from the House of Orange). So I paid her to do mine as I was wearing sandals.
Back home I'd quite forgotten about this when I went to Karate class a few day later. It was a night we were sparring. Oh joy, I was paired up with a neanderthal. As I stood opposite him, with my beautiful orange toes, I knew it'd be a painful night. Never in his wildest dreams who he contemplate "defacing" his body so, it wasn't even worth trying to explain.
Anyhow it's a lovely sunny day, summer can't be far off and Julie will be painting her her toes red...
a favorite!
