Clarity
There are several reasons why this painting and post are called Clarity. Perhaps I should clarify right? Before I do, I will share the purpose of this blog and post. Small Spaces Special Places Each year, I select a theme for my weekly paintings. This year’s is “Small Spaces Special Places.” One reason for this […]
Keep it in Your Pantry
I’ll never forget the first time I heard the song entitled “Keep it in Your Pantry.” It’s the title of a song by Lyle Lovett. The lyrics crack me up. And, who doesn’t need to have a few laughs these days? But before I continue, let’s welcome new readers to this blog and explain it’s […]
2020 Studio Sale
It’s time for the 2020 Studio Sale here at Julie Holmes Studio. Earlier this week, I notified my email subscribers about this sale. It’s exciting to report that several of my paintings have already sold, thanks to loyal subscribers. Woohoo! Before I continue on I want to welcome new subscribers (welcome!) and remind everyone what […]
Bountiful One
It’s November which means it’s time to enjoy the Bountiful One. What in the world do I mean by Bountiful One? I am speaking of the colorful Persimmon.

But I decided to lean into the goodness of the Isley Brother’s […]

(Mr Studly, by the way, completely agrees with the previous statement ;-D). But before I get too far ahead of myself, please let’s […]
Usual Suspects
In last week’s post, I describe my delight at the discovery of what now is this week’s usual suspects: kabocha squash and red pears. Oh la lah I am so excited to share some adventures in a new medium. But wait, dear reader, before I share all of that, let’s remind any new readers (welcome!) […]
Tipping Point
Hello dear reader! Do you have a feeling we have reached a Tipping Point? Good Goddess I hope we have…on so many fronts. Two things before I go much further: 1. what is a tipping point and 2. what is this blog, painting and post all about. Definition of Tipping Point Previously, I have written […]
Unity
How about a little unity? You may think, like me, that there’s little room for unity at this polarized point in time. And, you would be absolutely accurate and spot on. Which must be why we might want to reverse the trend and go with unity, eh? But before I get ahead of myself, I’ll […]
