Latest still life uploaded to my @bluethumbart shop. It looks simplistic but actually took me longer than a more detailed artwork. Lol. The use of a limited colour palette too is interesting. I normally love lots of strong colour but this is rather nice. Enjoy! #stilllife #stilllifewithflowerandredpassionfruit #flowerandredpassionfruit #stilllifeinacrylics #flower #passionfruit #juliehollisart #goldcoastartist #stilllifelovers #bluethumbartist #bluethumbart https://www.instagram.com/p/CqW2_qrPfy2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying something different. Abstract still life! I like it but I think I prefer more realistic artwork to paint. Can’t help myself hahaha. It is lovely to experiment though and find out definitely what you love best to paint. I’m about to do another little series featuring bottles but more realistic. #abstract #abstractstilllife #stilllife #bottles #blues #pink #blush #white #navy #somethingdifferent #juliehollisart #goldcoastartist #stilllifelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8xlIaP5Uc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meet Daisy the Doberman! She is finished now and added to my VIP listings in @bluethumbart. Just follows the link in my bio. She was a delight to paint and I love the delicious green/blue background with touches of pink.

This is vey different from my normal still life artworks. Antique wooden statue, old box, old books. I’m not so good with lace but I had to try. It looks so much better in person. Uploaded to my @bluethumbart shop, so see how it goes. #antiquethings #oldandmuchloved #stilllife #stilllifeofoldthings #stilllife #bluethumbart #bluethumbartist #juliehollisart #goldcoastartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CplgdVuPpkw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just added this new one to my @bluethumbart shop. I just love it. Thinking perhaps I may enter it in The Doyle’s if it doesn’t sell by the end of the month. Three Mandarins and Two Jugs. I used oil pastels for the first time to enhance it. Love the way they blend. #stilllife #threemandarins #twojugs #fruit #earthenware #stilllifelovers #atmosphericstilllife #drama #beautifulstilllife #juliehollisart #thedoyles #bluethumbartist #goldcoastartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcIyNZvFSH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been working on abstract characters for literally months. I say hours and hours@but those hours are stretched over a few months. Finally had an epiphany last night and knew what inward going to paint complete with how I would paint the eye, nose, lips. I picked out themes and names to@go with the characters no th is is the first one. Meet “Shirl withPearls”. She loves pearls, tea and red wine. She is an old fashioned kind of girl. Lol Please enjoy my bit of fun and nonsense! It has me in a very happy place at the moment. She has been added to@my abstract @bluethumbart shop.

This reminded me so much of Robert Mitchum in the film noir he was so good at, especially though, "The Big Steal." Am I showing my age? I love those old movies! The trilby, the overcoat, the dark set, everything! This is totally different for me, but I couldn't resist!

Decided to try my hand at some little works aimed at children. I see things to definitely fix up here but I’m not used to painting on these canvas sheets. So weird. I might stick to the acrylic paper I think. I’m really excited by the prospect of painting fairies and whimsical artworks which I will sell in my @etsy shop. So lots of work to do on this. Have an amazing Saturday everyone 💖💖 #fairy #fairiesarereal #fairies #elf #children #kids #paintingoffairies #juliehollisart #goldcoastartist #australianartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CogQYdAvFOG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This child so reminded my of my little granddaughter. I actually painted this in 2016, but have now just completely re-painted it and added the fairy wings. My granddaughter loved fairy wings, and if they were not on properly she would sulk and sook. This brings that memory back to vividly. At 9 y.o. she has announced she is far too old for such things! So funny. Please enjoy.
