The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,300 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 38 trips to carry that many people.
I loved creating this painting. The view was discovered whilst out walking around Afton Reservoir in East Ayrshire. It can be reached from the small roundabout at New Cumnock. You would miss it altogether if you didn’t know it was there, as there is no through road.

Julie H Winter • The Textured Landscape a Solo Art Exhibition
The Wellington Gallery, 13 Wellington Street, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, KA3 1DW 31st October 2011
An exhibition depicting over twenty original works of art by the artist Julie H Winter. These paintings show the artist’s skill with a pallet knife and her passion for the landscape of Ayrshire. Julie aims to capture a moment in time, a gentle breeze or the imminent weather front creeping in, the lapping of a wave or the setting of the illusive sun.
Exhibition opened to general public on Tuesday 1st November and ran until January 2012. Hope to see you enjoyed the original artwork by Julie H Winter.

These two paintings were on sale in Broomfield Park for the highland show in August 2011.
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

I have just finished my latest commission relating to a friend’s family farm, which is about to be sold. Here are the small works. They are adapted from combining more than one photograph.

So, if you want a series of paintings relating to your favourite place in the world – collect some photos and send them to me. At each stage I keep an open dialogue via email, updating all stages for discussion. All of the above are Oil Paintings, however I do work in acrylics, watercolour, silk paint on silk , scarves and cushion covers, machine embroidery and chalk pastels.
