Three Artists to Watch in 2021
It’s time to take a look at three artists to watch in 2021. Why? Because in the midst of this horrible year, there are some amazing artists creating absolutely fantastic and beautiful work. So, we are going to skip the usual purpose of this blog and post. Well, OK, we won’t skip it. I’ll describe […]
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. The native version of this plant is the Diospyros Virginiana and shazam, I would love to have one of these trees in our backyard. However, there are […]
Harvest For The World
I named this painting “Harvest for the World” but I could have named it so many other things. Like what? Well, “Twisted 2020” for the amazing twisted stem on the pumpkin and for the completely twisted experience of this pandemic-ridden and overwhelming year. But I decided to lean into the goodness of the Isley Brother’s […]

Clouds at the Beach
Instead of Clouds at the Beach, I could have labelled this painting and post “Gone Fishing.” Why? Because the by the time you read this, we will have stolen away to the beach with two other couples for a camping, beach combing and walking adventure. Wahoo! But before I get too far ahead of myself, […]
Two Stacked Pumpkins
Welcome to Pumpkin Central where two stacked pumpkins are a sign of a happy home. Right? No? Well, maybe not everyone is as absolutely nutsoid and crazy about pumpkins as I am. (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 […]
