I haven't written in my blog for quite a while!  It's been quite a year!  Because of all my health issues (cancer, etc.) I have developed terrible tremors in my hands but I had brain surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation.  It's quite a process of fine tuning but I'm getting better all the time.  Hurray.

These cards are all $3. 50 a piece with a minimum purchase of 4 to a set to make it worth my while with packaging, etc.  If you pick them up at my house I won't charge postage.  Email me for details at skoobit@msn.com and I'm also on Facebook.  You can Instant Message me your address on there.

These are my most popular images.  So don't wait to grab your favorites.  They will sell out soon.

I'm starting some new ones and hope to have some exciting fresh cards soon!

TWO LARGE OIL AND ACRYLIC PAINTINGS

 

 

“The Parkin Mansion”

By Julie Jacobsen

All rights reserved

Limited Edition Prints and cards available

This is actually the Devereax House in Salt Lake City, Utah that has been inserted in a scene from Richard Paul Evans New York times best selling book The Christmas Box”. It was commissioned by him.

My daughter was the model but it turned out to look like me.  I researched to find out what the original wall looked like.

This is the 2nd painting I did of this house.  The first one I had sold to an owner of a tool company in trade for a table and miter saw for my husband.  When Richard Paul Evans wanted to buy it he jacked up the price.  So that’s how I came to do a newer and much more complicated painting.  

“America’s Favorite City”

Open Edition Prints and post cards available

“California Street”. This was a commission for a two year anniversary. If you look in the taxi you’ll see the couple with their info on the license plate. It features all the San Francisco characteristics such as pigeons, shopping lady, etc. All of my paintings are done with a complicated layering process. I start out with brilliant under paintings. Then layer over and over. I wanted the white buildings to all appear different. So each has a different bright under painting. The perspective was extremely difficult. 

SHARPIE MARKERS AGAIN ON RAW CANVAS!

 

Okay!  This is a very quick post!  I might edit it later. These three works are original sharpie marker drawings by me-Julie Jacobsen-all rights reserved. 

All three were drawings on raw canvas. Then I sprayed an archival finish that protects against the sun. It’s incredibly fun to do this!  I have no idea how many markers I have but it’s a lot. They blend so well. I’ve done others and they’re back a ways on my blog. Believe it or not but the second cat is a type of Persian!

ANOTHER SWEET KITTY!

"BLUEBERRY"

Original Art by Julie Jacobsen

My daughter, Beth, has the sweetest kitty named Blueberry.  She is the sister to Pippi which I painted a portrait of and previously posted.  Two weekends ago I was visiting at their house and got a full dose of kitty loves.  Blueberry is a snuggler and who can resist those big blue eyes.  Her name truly was an inspiration for my watercolor portrait.  Blueberry in the blueberry bushes.  Super fun to create and paint! 

 

Okay! Back to posting!

 

“Inside There is Hope”

Original Art by Julie Jacobsen

Well, I just have to gripe for a minute. We finally broke down and bought an Apple Computer. We thought we could do this. No sweat. We have iPhones and iPads but we’ve had a PC for years and we’re computer dummies. The computer froze. So I’m doing this post on my phone. Grrrrr. 

I’m putting together a flower set to sell and this is one of them. It seems everyone wants flowers on their cards. Women do anyway. Plus I love to paint them. I will post when the set of four is ready. 

I love these tulips!  They brought us perky hope after winter and over a year of Covid 19. So I had to include them in my set. Just one more card to paint. Yay!  I was going to feature some old favorites but these new ones will be very fun. I hope you’ll agree!
