July, all languid and full of summer…….
the Queen of Summer reigns.
in every strand.
This is a watercolor/mixed media piece. The underlying foundation began as watercolor wet in wet.
And then, the evolutionary process took over.
It, dictated to me, what it would be.
and….. Her name was July!
2. I’ve always loved the month of July, growing up in the Pacific NW it was …Summer! I lived for those lovely mild, warm days, all 31 of them.
3. My planned July trip over there was cancelled, so I am ‘improvising.’ I’m envisioning myself there!
Debbie, You have captured July in all her glory. I love the texture, adding life to the curly hair.
I love July! you amaze me, I got excited when I saw this wonderful piece…..I do love portraits but you took it a step beyond and elevated portraiture….I know that you like to be different and take the upper, untraveled road. Man, I am tired today, I am trying to convey what the heck I mean….I hope that you are getting my meaning….you knocked it out of the park! BAM! I love this, kind of reminds me of whatshisname….you know, the artist who used a lot of gold in his portraits of ladies, kind of dreamy like your July. Anyway, awesome!
you BEAT too? I’m knackered. ie bedrest…for 2 days. I’m doing a 2 weekend Pastel workshop series, july 9 and 16. need to prep for. goodie.
Thank Goodness, for Your enthusiasm on this! wasn’t sure how, it was going to fly. If YOU Like it, I’m happy!!!!!
ah Klimt, that’s him….yep tuckered, I am getting too old for Art! a very demanding lover, I should say, no worries my husband knows….lol pastel workshop? what? tell me more, so neat!
Oh yes! Love, love the texture in this piece Debi! Happy July (even if you can’t be in the Pacific NW)!
thanks Deb… close my eyes, and imagine myself In the River!! yaya!
July is usually better than rainy June, but we’re starting out with a sprinkly July 1st – nice and fresh, ready for sunny days. Nice poetry. Your Queen has that “old time royalty” look.
July is Beautiful!!! 😍Love this Debi!
I wish I could paint. I always dream of doing it, but I guess I was’nt born with a paintbrush in my mouth.
Yours Painting are so Beautiful.
July is my Fav month too.
So glad you enjoyed the image and post; and that is a lovely comment thank you Cattie! to tell you the truth… I didn’t pick up my brush til I was over 30 years old. And, then with a lot of ‘flack’ from family and friends too!!
and learning, to paint so late. that is a whole other story!
It happened in Swimming Class with me. One day in the initial training , my trainer swam to gossip with some other friends and I somehow reached the middle of the pool and started drowning. I gasped with fear and with the water going into mu eyes and nose, I could not shout for help and got ready to die drowning. Thankfully Lord Jesus, turned someone’s attention to me and I got saved.
LOL. Now I dare not enter the pool.
