The title of the painting is a nod to following your heart and finding yourself in the middle of an extraordinary situation. I love painting with watercolors in my sketchbook. Then these paintings inspire my more in-depth mixed media pieces.

My creative process revolves around staying loose, playing, and experimenting in the initial layers, then building upon them as the painting progresses. This approach keeps me unattached to my work, and allows for imperfections and beautiful mistakes.

When I’m having fun and enjoying the process, I keep coming back to it and continue painting—you never know where it might lead.

This is an original 12″ x 16″ mixed media painting on canvas by artist, Juliette Crane.

The sides are 2″ deep, so the painting continues over the edges and it is ready to hang with or without frame.

Each painting is created and shipped out of Madison, Wisconsin.

All of my originals are protected with a matte, archival finish. Signed, titled and dated on the back.

If you are outside the U.S.A. and Canada, please email me and I will put your painting on hold while we discuss your shipping options at info [!at] juliettecrane.com
