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

A motorway, what, where, can't see it! Our freeways have sculptural little hills, walls, kind of arty, etc. to try and keep the traffic sound away from people. Geelong to Melbourne is a freeway, and we can go to the Melbourne airport without a single traffic light, so it's useful, but I wouldn't like to live close to a freeway.

I really like the second pic.
I love the wateryness.
Oh colour again, I agree I cant see the motorway but I guess the noise would be frustrating. Lovely water shadows.
I had a favorite lake spot that was the same way, Julie. I had to go there at dawn if I wanted the sound to match the tranquility of the place--otherwise, I couldn't stand it. What a lovely spot by that water, and somehow you were able to convey the peacefulness that lay underneath that clashing noise.

It's funny how your feelings of being disturbed by the noise do appear in the paintings--while the scene is tranquil the feeling is one of disturbance instead of serenity. I do like it when feelings come through a painting, not just the image though. I remember a sunflower I painted that I struggled with mightily. I hated it but my dad loved it just because he could see the struggle in it. Of course he was a psychotherapist, so maybe that explains it (and a lot of other stuff too).
thise are so freshly painted, nothing too much. Just as it should. Lovely! Really!!
