    Wow! Lucky you!!!
    I met Beth at a Flying Sisterhood of the NorthEast reunion and know
    how wonderful she is. I'm sure the retreat will be just as amazing and inspirational. I loooove Flora's work and am sure you'll be a great “assistant”. Jealous! I'm hoping I'll be able to attend the retreat.

    Very exciting! You will love her. I took a class from her at Squam last September and it was awesome. An Artful Journey was my first ever art retreat last Feburary and it changed my life. I will see you there in a few weeks!

    Hi Juliette, I was just introduced to your work the other day by a friend and now have yet another reason to be really excited that I'm going on the retreat! I look forward to meeting you as I will be doing Flora's class. Can't WAIT! 🙂

    Congratulations! BTW I loved your article in Somerset Studio! I don't know if you've thought about this, but I've seen so many artists with a “signature” type of art license it. I really think your owls would be very popular. Just a thought… Have fun!

    I stumbled upon Flora's art a few months ago, and love it too. That retreat sounds fun — wish it was closer to me in Florida. Be sure and tell us all about it later.

Painting Owls + Finding Your Artistic Voice

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading
