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 just beautifully conceived and executed.
The painting was well worth the wait Julie, what adorable little boxes.
Awesome and, I have to say this, it's just a pleasure to see something that has nothing to do with the event taking place in the USA today.
i can relate to the fear of kids ripping them open. the painting is fabulous, i can't get enough of this realistic style, it's brilliant
Thank you Detlef and Anita. Owen I'm incredibly happy about the USA event today so this may not be an Obama free site for long.
Gabi I can usually only paint like this when I'm inside and no kids around. As it was, while I painted, there was a constant threat of the littlest member of the family upending my still life.
What colours and accuracy. I know these sweeties from Italy and it's as if I could lift one off the page. The box designs are so perfectly reproduced, quite brilliant!
Left a note about your kind comments on my blog.

How charming! Have they been consumed yet? That must have been quite a bit of work with all the stripes and details on the packaging. Fun!
I love those - bought some on holiday in Pisa/Florence and some for little pressies for family. We started calling them - ahem - "little nipples", for reasons that should be obvious...
Ack! Forgot the bit that was the whole point of making the comment - which was that your painting immediately made me feel I was back on holiday. Made it a special one for me. Thanks :-)
Was so impressed by this water colour I thought I'd have a go with advertisement material myself. You are my inspiration again, hope I've done you justice. Many regards Fay http://woodlandfay.blogspot.com/2009/02/old-town-pamplona.html
