The Farm

"The Farm" 16" x 20" oil on canvas by Juliane Porter

Rather than my writing about my latest oil painting, "The Farm," I'll share the words of my client, for whom this gorgeous slice of heaven holds years of special family memories:

"It is so beautiful!! I cried when I saw it! It is so perfect and just how I will always remember summers in the Catskills, with the blue, blue sky, the white clouds popping over the green mountains, the reflections in the pond, the weeping willow on the bank of the pond that my grandmother planted, the barn, the farmhouse, I could go on and on…"

It was my absolute pleasure to capture this magical oasis in oil paint for your family to enjoy for generations to come.

Love All,

Juliane

"Sandy Highway" is the latest oil painting in my Nantucket series. It's quite a journey to get to some of the isolated beaches of the Island, and always worth it. Please enjoy!

Today's officially the last day of Summer! Perfect timing to pay tribute with my latest oil painting, "Summer Pedals". This bike reminds me of the one my sister rode as a pre-teen, which was then passed down to me for many additional miles of transportation and fun around my beautiful hometown. Fond memories:)

Please enjoy!

All Love,

Juliane

Two White Dresses

It's classic tradition in art, to copy the works of great masters. Perhaps you've seen artists set up in the museums around the world doing just this? I've done so with this quick 2 hour painting, Two White Dresses, by John Singer Sargent, one of my favorite artists. Please enjoy!

Happy Summer!

Love,

Juliane

The "Grey Lady" is the nickname for beautiful Nantucket Island, referring to her appearance from the sea when fog-bound. Please enjoy my oil painting of one of Nantucket's historic marinas, captured just as the magical mist is setting in.

“Mo-o-o-m!” Oil on Canvas, Sleeping Mama Duck & Baby

"Mo-o-o-m!" 11 x 14 Oil on Canvas Painting by Juliane Porter, Nantucket, Mass. USA

(Please click image for a better, larger view)

I couldn't resist painting this sweet little duo floating near the dock of our cottage last summer. Mama duck, who was trying to catch a quick nap with her beak tucked into her back feathers, wasn't getting much cooperation from her spirited little one!

Please do let me know your thoughts. I always appreciate them a ton 🙂

Much Love,

Juliane

Corner of the Marina

Corner of the Marina, Nantucket, Mass, USA. Oil on canvas by Juliane Porter. www.StyleNectar.com

Corner of the Marina, is the third painting in my Chatham/Nantucket series. I fell in love with the reflections in the water and the light, happy feeling of being on Nantucket. There will always be something about water that I absolutely adore. The colors, the shimmer, it's power and vastness… it keeps things in perspective, like a great teacher.

According to Ayurveda, my dosha is Vata, which is woven from the elements of space and air. Jim is of the Pitta dosha, comprised of water and fire- so there's definitely something about this attraction to water for me:-)

What is your dosha? Take the quiz here. Then let us know what you are… feel free to share your thoughts on my painting too:-)
