I am privileged to come from a family of artistic people and the new generation carries on the gene: one of these young people, my niece Julie Blondin, is a very talented painter. Like many (young) people, she has to work a day job to pay the bills, which does not leave all that much time for her art. That might be the reason why her paintings are usually fairly small. She paints attractive imaginary pictures but portraits are definitely her forte. What I really love about her work is that, even though the portraits are realistic enough that her models are immediately recognisable, she has developed a very personal style and through her choices of colors and lines her paintings are very modern. She also manages to carry out the mischievous look of a child or the personality of her model, which is not an easy task and shows her keen sensitivity. Julie paints members of her family (her niece and nephews at different ages in particular) from photographs. She also works on commission . Interested in an original portrait? let me know and I will put you in touch!
