Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

11x14 oil on canvas Since it is 108 degrees in Texas today, I guess you could say this was motivated by the summer heat!  Not to mention we have a bit of Sahara desert dust in the air as well!!   I have been working on several portrait commissions so working more loosely with colors I love is a nice distraction.   For sale and can be found at www.juliewileman.com! Thanks for looking!

48x48 acrylic and oil on canvas Commissioned by size with the instructions to have fun!  That I did!  The day after I finished it I was having lunch with the patron who asked if she could take a picture of my ear.  I cautiously asked why?  She said I still had green paint on my ear.   www.juliewileman.com jbwileman@gmail.com

7x5 oil on linen panel The paint on my palate was beginning to get a bit old, so I thought I would do a couple of smaller studies to use it up.  Wanting to stay loose, I decided to stop before I overworked it.  This was a lovely cool shaded area of a creek in Sedona, Arizona.   Thanks for looking! www.juliewileman.com jbwileman@gmail.com I am happy to announce that I have 3 pieces in an upcoming show!  If you are in the area, check it out and see a lot of wonderful art!

9x12 oil on canvas panel With the spring schedule coming to an end I am having more time to spend in the studio.  Yay!  This piece has been a while in coming - a lot of reworking.  Also difficult to photograph and get the right colors to show.   I actually considered trashing it, but after polling my family it turns out this is their favorite of several recent paintings!  So, here it is! www.juliewileman.com jbwileman@gmail.com I am happy to announce that I have 3 pieces in an upcoming show!  If you are in the area, check it out and see a lot of wonderful art!

9x12 oil on canvas panel Sometimes I just like to play with paint.  When I finish a painting I will use the leftover paint to experiment until a composition settles in and shows itself.  This one took a while, so it has lots of layers and textures. (see below)  Kinda fun! Thanks for looking! Can be purchased on my website or etsy shop: www.juliewileman.com www.etsy.com/shop/juliebethpaints

oil on linen 9x12 My youngest granddaughter discovering the wonders of the beach while on a visit to Spain.  We were fortunate to be invited to come along on the trip!  They live in Germany, so I cherish the times we get to be with them. Thank you for sharing the moment. www.juliewileman.com www.juliebethwileman.blogspot.com www.etsy.com/shop/juliebethpaints

9x12 oil on linen canvas Amy.  Spunky.  Fun.  Competitive.  Rapped with her father.  Loved squishy hugs from her mother.  Joyful.  Brave.  Beautiful. Ran into the arms of God Who Made Her with a nudge from brain cancer at age 12. Her mother and I grew up together.  I started painting 3 months after Amy died and ever since I have hoped that someday I might be able to paint her portrait.   Thank you for looking! www.juliewileman.com www.juliebethwileman,blogspot.com

oil on canvas 12x12 50 years!!  This adorable couple recently celebrated 50 years of joy in their relationship.  This was painted from a small snapshot and has so much charm!  The bow, the flip of hair, the coke bottle, the Munsingwear polo.  And the smiles on their faces!  This was a delight to paint.  Sweet gift from their daughter.   Thank you for looking! www.juliewileman.com www.juliebethwileman.blogspot.com

Munner's House 11x14 oil on linen canvas Munner and Pa raised my mother-in-law in this home that was built in the late 1880's in Malakoff.  Uncle Ireanus added on to it when she was 2 years old in 1920.  Cousin Don still lives there and commissioned this painting to give to his daughter.  Four generations!  The huge old pecan tree in front still produces loads of tiny native East Texas pecans every year.   Thanks for visiting! website:  juliewileman.com blog:  juliebethwileman.blogspot.com
