Trash the Dress
Spring is lovely this year with beautiful warm days. So what do a group of artists think up to amuse themselves? We visited the lake. A painter, a couture designer, a photographer, two wedding dresses, a couple of willing models and some paint made the perfect mix for the "Spring Transformation". trash the dress

Creating new trends are what artists do best. "Transform the Dress" is an option for the bride and her wedding dress after the honeymoon is over. Instead of storing the dress under the bed, the newlywed can create a memorable and arty photoshoot in a unconventional setting.

We've seen shots in car washes, by the lake, and in the bayou. We got some great images at the lake and lots of giggles!

Couture dress designer, Debbie La Franchi supplied the gowns. You can see more of them here. Stefanie Snyder shot some beautiful photography which you can view here.

This year got off to a great start with several shows happening at once. Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

Best,
Julie

I love to paint dancers!

Dance has always inspired me. It is the embodiment of grace and aesthetics. Dancers aim for perfection. The are elegant, disciplined and physically strong. So, they also make fantastic artists' models. When my daughters danced at California Dance Arts I was introduced to a new set of young adults who I hired to pose for my paintings.

The California Theatrical Youth Ballet and California Dance Arts celebrated the 10th season of the Snow Queen this holiday season. As several of the principal dancers have posed for my paintings I thought I'd showcase them in this newsletter. The paintings below feature these dancers.

The
Verdugo Monthly Magazine, December issue, reported "This year marks the tenth anniversary of The Snow Queen - Ballet Redefined, an updated rendition of the classic with an original score by Randall Michael Tobin. "Ballet redefined" refers to the variety of dance and musical styles, which drift outside the usual realm of ballet. "It's a little Cirque du Soleil-esque," says Holt. [Erin holt is the artistic director and choreographer of The Snow Queen]. "We're redefining that whole viewpoint that ballet has to be stiff and narrow. It's full, you can expand it, push the boundaries."

Newsletter December 2007
Hi,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I wish this to all my friends, family and those who encourage my creative efforts. My success is in part, helped by you. Thank you.

Many people ask about the subjects I paint. Just about 95% of all my work is done in the studio with a live model. The model in this painting had just returned from Brazil. She bought this dress while on her travels. It is a genuine carnival costume, beautifully beaded all by hand. Her matching headdress came from there too. Beaded in red and gold with real ostrich plumes. The trick was to keep it from toppling over.

The model is painted here resting in the cool shade, out of the hustle and bustle of the street just before the carnival gets underway.
I truly loved painting her.
Julie
