The Ghost of the Captain's Stateroom

Just wanted to share a couple more paintings that I have finished recently.
This is, "The Ghost of the Captain's Stateroom" which for some reason took me forever to finish. I guess it was the little details but, thankfully, she is done!

Detail...
And this is, "She Longed to be Back at Sea", another Marie Antoinette homage of sorts.
I really like both of these in person.
I keep trying to lighten my palette...especially for the spring and summer seasons but, I'm already getting an itch for all things Harvest, Haunted and Halloween-ie!
Are you?
Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments on my last post.:)
I am still trying to get back to each of you...I will!
I just move much slower these days.

  8. Both of your paintings are SO lovely, Julie. :) I am quite fond of the ghost, especially. I love the ethereal feel to the piece. I am definitely itching for fall, as well. Especially after this icky humid summer!
    And I must thank you so kindly for your wonderful comments on my Borders post...they meant the world to me. It is going to be very hard to say goodbye - so I am drinking in every last precious moment before its over. On to the future!!! :) xoxo

  10. Hi Julie

    How are you my blogging friend. Long time no... I was going to write 'see' but you understand. How are your boys, growing fast I expect.

    Your new work is amazing.. How on earth did you come up with such a great idea? Wonderful.

    As for the mermaids... I adore them.
