Branching Out

My family tree...
a little lopsided,
some branches are dying,
others removed,


but this branch is blooming....

I worked on this piece throughout the Fall,
Layered,
Tattered,
Antiqued,
Rough,
and painted deep from the heart.

Found a spot for it, here in this nook


Where I blog,
pay bills,
edit the crazy calendar,
and think...
...all closed up....

Just thought I'd share a little bit of my home that makes me happy...
Enjoy the day!

    Hi Julie
    I thought I'd introduce myself. My surname is also Johnson and I also have 4 kids, but I live the other side of the world to you - South Africa! I love your tree painting (I also paint but am not very good) so we seem to have a few things in common. I am new to the blogging world and am so enjoying coming across wonderful new people!

    Wow Julie, your art is just fantastic! I love the layers, and that it has such a personal meaning for you.
    Also really enjoyed your last post. I laughed when you said about her brother even sitting next to her. Sounds like something that I would be surprised with in my family, haha.

    Hi, Julie - I just found you via Coming Out Covenant. So silly that I never thought to look on your FB page to see if you had one.

    Your painting is beautiful. And, is the Swedish art on your doors that hide your office space on fabric? That is brilliant!
