KPJEWELS says:Julia, this painting is gorgeous and the pick follows suit.
How does one purchase one of your paintings? There is nothing (that I can find) on the ‘paintingsilove site that tells me how to purchase or the price of any of the paintings. ???
I checked out your other paintings and you are a wonderful artist.
I can’t even draw a stick-man. LOL

AllureofGemsGlamJulia says:Thank You , chickies
You just contact me
. Actually so far I only sold on the local level
Through a gallery and through the art club, through the shows and to friends who come to my house and point at the painting they want … So if it is for sale they get it or… they get it as a present for their birthdays

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Julia! Thank you so much for giving us the link to your paintings! You are truely an artist! I have to agree with the others, the paintings from Spain and Italy are my favorites. They are beautiful! The light, the shadows, and “life” that is in them… I feel like I am there. (Two places I’d like to visit someday!) And I especially love Riesling too! The light flowing through the grapes…..it just glows!

AllureofGemsGlamJulia says:Mary , Thank you very much!
I love to paint fruits and veggies though, as I think they are sensual
It just depends from which perspective you see them. I love to cook so I have very close, hands on relation with them, LOLLLLLLLLL…
I love to paint wine and other drinks because I love wine and because I love the play of lights in the glass and liquids
Painting waterfalls are fun. I love to paint architectural and landscape too of cause. But portraiture… is not my cup of tea…
