Art in the garden

Last weekend i exhibited some of my work out in the open in a very lovely garden in Scotland. It was one of the Scotlands open garden scheme charity days, set in two and a half acres of “garden rooms” Beautiful manicured lawns clipped hedges, cottage style vegetable garden and an orchard playing host to hens and ducks.

This orchard room was where i set up my art, using recycled traffic signs as easels. It was a super day, the sun shone and people filtered through all daylong, i even sold three paintings!

It just goes to show you don’t need to have a roof and walls to exhibit your work, it dose help having the weather on your side for the day though.

French road trip

Hi everyone..... its been too long.....sorry

Since returning home from my road trip to France, its been all about the gardens.

Creating artwork has taken a back seat to growing tasty vegetables and planting pretty flowers (both of which will probably appear in my art at some stage of their lives)

It was so lovely to be able to personaly install the artwork in my French clients beautiful home ... its always a worry that commissions don't live up to the clients expectations ...but I'm happy to say they were delighted with the results.

Im hoping to return to their beautiful part of France one day and maybe paint the sunflowers they assure me stand majestically in the fields that surrounds their village... maybe hire a bike from “Gascogne bike hire” and explore the miles of cycle tracks around the area and hopefully take in a yoga class and cookery session with the amazing “Tamsin Chubb” at the Little French Retreat

launch day

Today is the day we go live.

It’s such an exciting day for me, a line in the sand when my art - which has been my lifelong passion since childhood - has now become official with the launch of my website - Julie Gregory Art.

This website is a platform for my artwork - where people can just browse or purchase my paintings - it is a culmination of a journey of discovery, charting the progress of my work, a reflection of where I live and my inspiration

My aim is to use the site as a vehicle of communication where i can share the development of my skills and techniques - the movements from realism to expressionism thought to abstract

Positive feedback from Instagram has been a great boost of confidence, helping me realise my art was worthy of its own place in cyber space - a new website is born

In my Bio i say - Art is a representation of my thoughts - i can express myself freely through brushes, paint and different mediums, I can story tell, recount, whereas writing these words you’re reading now is a struggle

Art is my escape, a road to well being and an aid to recover

It just goes to show, if you have a passion and love for something, follow your dream
