Studio blog of Julie Galante – painting ridiculous things in Scotland
Julie I can’t say enough good things about participating in Art Every Day Month so far. I’ve had a great time looking at the work of other participants and being inspired to try new things. Today I worked on a variety of stuff. I started this self-portrait a long time ago and then forgot about it. … Read more
