I’ve now finished a large acrylic painting entitled “Grace Descends on the Fire and Brimstone of the Tree Pandemic”, 78” x 51”, acrylic on silk mounted to canvas_5.2020. This one is big, mean and chaotic– full of fireballs, destroyed nature, meteor viruses, boulders and hope-(grace), all happening inside and around the outline of infected trees.  I’m a painter living and working in …

This is a 5 x 6.5 watercolor on paper that I’m calling “the satyr’s rug” I live in New Jersey and have been social distancing with my teenage sons for over a month now. It has driven me to drink- and paint!!

My name is Julie Davis and I love to paint outdoors. This oil painting is of a view of Mt. Mansfield from my farmhouse in Cambridge, Vermont. Painting can be a way to heal from, and escape the challenges in everyday life. My paintings are on exhibit at local galleries and on-line at www.julieadavis.com.

I made the drawing on the left back in the 1970s, then recently discovered the potholder on the right that was made by my great aunt Lucy Ardena Butterfield, probably in the 1930s or 1940s.

My art is inspired by farm life that surrounds me at all times. You will find a touch of humor in my paintings as my goal is to uplift the viewer and bring a smile to their face.

This is from a series I’m working on called “Emerging Spring”. Through my eyes and my camera lens I have the space and time in my life to get closer and really observe. During this time of isolation, I find subjects that absorb me into another world. Here are 2 of the ice meditation series that transported me for hours. …

This week’s piece is an experiment in acrylics employing a novel technique of painting in quadrants, organized into quadrants themselves, working from an image turned upside down. The technique was taught by Georgeanne Gaffney and is designed to help the artist work with shapes and colors, liberated from trying to depict a “scene”. In my painting, the upper right quadrant …

I am illustrating a book about living on an island off the coast of Maine, as caretaker of a bird sanctuary.

I have been working with clay for 40 years and enjoy transforming it into a variety of shapes that become sometimes decorative, whimsical but almost always functional. Each piece is completely handmade by me and finished with a wide palette of my own glazes. My unique porcelain jewelry undergoes multiple steps before completion and is comfortable and enjoyable to wear. My home, …
