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

Julie - this is absolutely gorgeous. Obviously I can't speak to likeness, but the pastel painting is just lovely and you really created great form in the face. I hope you do more.
I love this! The technique you use looks very confident. I can't believe you made it under such difficult conditions - well done.
Thank you Karen and Jess. It's an interesting medium. I found this drawing looked a complete disaster for ages. So despite my moans this looks a million times better than it did three-quarters of the way through.
It's a very nice portrait and, do you know how hard it is to capture likeness? Much better to just capture the viewer's interest as you have here.
Whether it looks like her or not, it is really beautiful!
