The Sentinel



The Ruby Slippers

"The Ruby Slippers" began as a photograph taken at Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville New Jersey. As I worked on this image, it seem to take on a fairytale kind of feel and even though "the yellow brick road" is only a path and the shoes are my version of "the ruby slippers", it still seemed possible that Oz was just around the bend.

The Raven's Wood

I captured this image (minus the ravens) a few years ago in Millcreek Village, a fantastic historically preserved early American village in New Jersey. I would love to know what happened to this amazing tree- some huge storm or maybe lightning. It's limbs were so contorted and angled it reminded me of a giant insect. I used this photo in color for a painting once but in black and white, all of the detail in the grass and brush reminded me of an etching. So again, it has new life as "The Raven's Wood".

A Wing and a Prayer

I came across this old building in western New Jersey. The vines covering the roof reminded me of a tousled head of hair. I'm puzzled by all the different openings and what it may have been used for in it's past lives.

Remains of the Day

This old chair on the porch of an abandoned house is one of my favorite film negatives that I have been revisiting lately with a fresh eye. The image I originally envisioned that would have taken hours in the darkroom is now a lot more possible thanks to the digital medium!

Miles to Go

"Miles to Go" began with a photo taken in The Deserted Village in the Watchung Reservation, New jersey. It was just after a thunderstorm and the afternoon light coming through the trees was amazing! I added the hiker and birds to complete the feeling I had in mind for the image. The title was inspired by a quote from a Robert Frost poem "the woods are lovely, dark and deep but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep".

All Who Enter

I've always had a passion for gargoyles. To me, they represent protection from harm and a guard against evil. True or not, I have a collection of them all over my house (Hey, you never know!).

Rear Window

"Rear Window" is an abandoned building I came across in my travels. I'm still not sure what it's original purpose was but I love the way the vines crawling up the side seem to frame the lone window.

The Offering

The Offering began as one of my black and white film photos. The vintage figure was added for interest and to create a mood. The entire image was then hand colored.

Out on a Limb

I was struck by how this graceful, white limb seemed to flow across all the trees behind it and float above the small stream running underneath.

The Shopkeeper, Rue de Chartres

I happened across this wonderful man on Rue de Chartres in the French Quarter of New Orleans, one of my favorite cities in the world. It was originally shot with black and white film but I think a little enhancement with toning, color and texture gives it a different mood and feel.

A Road Less Traveled

I captured this photograph of an old building in the quaint New Jersey town of Mill Creek Village near the Delaware Water Gap. It's a great place for photography with lots of historic buildings, dirt roads, and places to explore.

Trash to Treasure

Exploring backroads can yield lots of interesting finds for photo opportunities. This simple, forgotten old milk can caught my eye. I tend to find a lot of treasures in what other people consider trash.

A Fire Within

A montage of two photographs- a window of an old building and the figure of a woman peering in are blended together to evoke a feeling of mystery- just what does she see?

And Then There Were Three

This old house has always been one of my favorites from my archives. Something about the three dark windows and the open door tugs at my heartstrings. It's almost as if the house is crying out for someone or something to come in and bring life back once again.

The Gatekeeper

I came across this guy in a shop window in a small NJ town. The shop was directly across from the gate of an old cemetery, hence his title, The Gatekeeper.

Shelter from The Storm

Shelter from The Storm is a montage of two photographs. One is an old building at the edge of a rural cornfield. The sky was rather overcast and gray so the threatening storm clouds were added to enhance the foreboding feeling of the scene.

The Morning After

I first photographed this old stone building in 2006 on my New Jersey backroads travels. The resulting piece became "Shelter from the Storm" with the drying cornstalks trailing off into the tall grass in front. When I came across it again in 2009 the scenario was totally different. The cornstalks and grass were down revealing trees and fields in the background that weren't visible the first time around. The new image seemed to lend itself to minimal color and starkness that became "The Morning After".

The Lamp Post

The Lamp Post was originally a black and white film image that I digitally hand colored to achieve the final look.

When Shadows Fall

When Shadows Fall is a montage of several photographs and scanned objects creating a thought provoking image for the viewer.

The Portal

A thought provoking montage of a number of different photographs.

The Gardener

The Gardener is a montage of several photographs beginning with a bouquet of flowers. The woman was added along with color and texture to convey a feeling of mystery and draw the viewer in.

Lily

Lily began as a photo I took of a window in an old building. The black and white vintage figure of the little girl was added, hand colored and digitally painted to create a mood.

With Strings Attached

"With Strings Attached" is a still life of a bouquet of tulips with books that I photographed and digitally painted in the style of traditional oils.

On Golden Pond

On Golden Pond was digitally painted from an image I captured while roaming the backroads of New Jersey.

Introspect

portrait digitally painted in the style of traditional oils

The Guardian

The Guardian is a montage of two photographs, digitally painted to evoke a feeling of protection and hope for the viewer.

Imagekind Gallery birds
Copyright (C) 2008
a collection of fine art digital bird paintings

early spring chill / mountain bluebird

it's a long and sometimes stormy flight back home. a migrating mountain bluebird rests on a post along a remote valley. to retain body heat he fluffs his feathers into a puffy ball. but the clarion summer sun will soon bask him in warmth again.

just passing through / avocets

in southwest colorado, we can only enjoy this graceful bird for a few weeks in the spring as they stop over on their trek to points northward. here a group of five avocets plies the shallow water of a lakeside.

eyes of the forest / GH owl

i'm used to looking up at owls, and seeing them obscured deeply in branches or nearly invisible against similarly colored background; therefore i enjoyed depicting one at eye level and with unobstructed clarity to let the glowing eyes shine out.

sunset on the desert / gambel's quail

a male gambel's quail emerges from the safety and obscurity of the underbrush to risk a full view of the valley.

rio grande valley / sandhill cranes

sandhill cranes take flight somewhere south of the bosque del apache...

willow reflections / tree swallows

a pair of tree swallows dart over a willow-draped pond

oxbow sunset--white pelicans

years ago i was paddling in the oxbow section of the snake river in Grand Teton National Park. i was drawn to a sandbar where at least a dozen pelicans were reclining. the gentle wind blew my boat very gradually straight toward them. the opportunity afforded me some great shots-- too bad they were all spoiled when water got into the film. still, using one of the better of the damaged images, i painted in the details and light as i remember them.

cover of Bird Watchers Digest April 2010

i had to sign 300 of these prints for the magazine so if you want one of those (14 x 9.6"), just email me. i built this image from photos i took in saguaro national park.

the lean times/ barn and northern harrier

a thick blanket of snow covers the western landscape. a juvenile marsh hawk brushes close to an old barn as part of her circuit-- nothing is astir. she flies on.

hawaiian refuge / palila

the endangered palila survives on the slopes of mauna kea on the big island of hawaii.

deep woods / scrubjay

fall in the forest, filtered light, and a perfect perch.

snow flurry / western screech owl

a western screech owl catches the last dim light of dusk just before a snow squall rolls in.

a proud old swainson's hawk

a fairly old guy that lives in the rehabilitation center in santa fe new mexico. the billows of feathers, especially around his throat, makes him a splendid model.

bluebird / cold rain

a western bluebird settles into the leeward side of a aspen tree as an early evening fog turns to light rain.

fenceline scrubjay

a beautiful old fence line, filigreed with odd twists of wire becomes the focal point of this painterly depiction of a jay against a bleary sunset.

moonlight at the mission

the magnificent old mission at laguna new mexico is shown by moonlight through the bare branches of ancient cottonwood trees. in a very tranquil moment, i imagined a roadrunner taking a brief pause atop the outer adobe wall.

wooden world of the nuthatch

a busy little nuthatch probes a labyrinth of driftwood along a colorado lakeside.

spring crabapple broadtail hummer

a colorado crabapple tree in late bloom is visited by a male hummingbird.

foggy forest downy woodpecker

a clever little downy woodpecker contemplates a "menu spread across a shaggy trunk of juniper. a light snow begins to fall as evening approaches.

mountain stream dipper

photographed near telluride colorado in autumn, the water was shimmering with bright rocks and leaves, and the busy dipper was good enough to pause and "smile" for me.

trumpeter swan smile

a study of a trumpeter swan

snow junco

an oregon junco perches on a frozen wine of virginia creeper as the snow swirls around.

painted raven

a bristly mature raven chortles above his mountain domain.

orange colorado river/ heron

yellowed headed blackbird

a yellow headed blackbird in a light fog surveys a pond edge among dense bullrushes.

harris hawk and arizona scape

a harris hawk suddenly catches the movement of potential prey.

young says phoebe

fully fledged, a young says phoebe waits patiently for his parents to both feed him and show him the "ropes".

kabob / loggerhead shrike

i've seen many shrikes but i've never observed their famous penchant for skewering prey-- so this piece is a slightly macabre indulgence of my imagination.

bluebird in autumn spruce

a male western bluebird in the last flush of autumn's color.

lady cardinal on barn hinge

with the old barn door gone, the rusty hinge makes a perfect perch for a female cardinal.

bluebird late summer

a bluebird finds a fine perch on an old dilapidated fence row among the blooming rabbitbrush.

Abstract Expressionist, Julianne Richards, paints mostly with acrylic on canvas. Her latest additions to her collection are just a hint at what is to come in th esecond half of 2007. She can use colors that alternately sooth and stir the viewer. A near "visual intoxicant," her choices of colors,lines,definitions, bring forth imagery that draws you in, and can stay with you long after you have seen the work. Now, if this work should have an affect relative to the one above, don't you deserve your own print?

beyond the blues

Acrylic on canvas, 30"x30" with 7/8" depth. Gallery wrapped, back-stapled linen canvas, finished with a UV protective gloss varnish. Certified of Authenticity by EBSQ. For purchasing info: http://www.yessy.com/richards

remedy for injury

Another one of the several paintings I have produced this past week-it's title was going through my mind with each brush stroke, every line, and semi-circle. Finally, standing back from it late last night, I was melancholy yet grateful at the same time. No quick fix can take away what life's curves that cause pain will do, but in that uncertainty of a world that can seem at times cruel and without purpose, I have the only reprieve I have every known, creativity. It is, for me, the only thing that is certain. Acrylic on canvas 30"x30" 7/8" depth. Gallery wrapped, back-stapled, sides painted, and ready to hang "as is." Finished with two coats of UV protective gloss varnish. This painting holds many emotions and was made with intense purpose. It is a reflection (one can only hope) of movement, change, the silence, the HOWL, and somewhere, within the tones and curves, is me. For purchasing info: http://www.yessy.com/richards

In memory of Joan

This is my humble painting in memory of my favorite painter, Joan Mitchell. I have followed her work for years; In fact, long before I started painting myself I was captivated by her artwork.

the tree house

When I was in second grade, we managed to build an elevated "treehouse"-which became, for the local girls in our mostly' boy dominated neighborhood", a sanctuary of magical proportions. We could see all three streets and where they came together-from our secret meeting place, and it served us well, until, like all good things, they (the local boy bullies) discovered it and it came to an end...but for that wonderful and scary innocent time in our lives, it was our mansion, a FORT, our refuge. Acrylic on paper, 11" x15" with a UV gloss varnish.

"The Red Hiding Box"

Acrylic on rough, 140lb cold-pressed paper. 11"x 15" Finished with a UV protective gloss varnish. COA from Ebsq. The colors are stark and and title is from a childhood memory. Years later, from that memory is a representation in visual form.

'the arbitrator"

This is one of my favorite paintings! It is acrylic on quality gallery wrapped, back stapled canvas. All four sides are painted, making it complete and ready to hang. It is 30"x40" with 3/4" in depth. Earth tones blend into cooler ones, with lines of charcoal crossing and intersecting.... tones and colors with lines and sections. This is a very visually stimulating yet soothing painting. It always gets a lot of attention! It is finished with a UV protective gloss varnish. COA. by EBSQ. Signed and dated.

la Marina

Acrylic on canvas-24x24,3/4 depth. The sides are painted,it is back stapled, and ready to hang as is. EBSQ Certificate of Authenticity included with purchase. UV Protective Gloss Varnish. With its rich and warm tones,this peice is truly visually intoxicating! The original is Sold.

"earth at rest"

This painting is done on gallery wrapped back stapled canvas- size 11"x14" with 3/4" depth. All my work is dated and signed. It is also registered with EBSQ-a COA is provided with purchase. This is a real gem-A UV protective varnish added for protection and shine.

"Winter'

Charcoal and some light acrylic paint on heavy paper -18"x24" I used a fixative to keep charcoal/pastel from smearing. At the end I put on a gloss UV protective varnish for shine and to add longevity to the peice as a whole. A truely unique and inspired peice from my collection. COA certifide-Ebsq.

for Francisco

This is part of the 2006 charcoal series, and they all look beautiful matted and framed.

"limber'

Charcoal on 15x20 rough paper- done in 2006, but just added in March of 2007. It has a protective fixative to prevent smudging of the charcoal-and to set the piece to a finish with a soft shine. It is regstered with EBSQ for verification. Certificate is included with purchase. This piece is part of a series I did, and they have sold as prints and every client was very happy and have all purchased more after (particularly ths piece and its series) they got it home and it was on their wall.

"the clown"

This is my favorite peice from a series I did of oil pastels in June of 2007. Original is not for sale. Limited edition prints are available for this very special painting that is really best appreciated closely, preferably larger in format, so as to see every detail and nuance, of which there are many.

grid



rain

This is another acrylic on canvas-24"x.75"x30" in size. Back stapled and sides painted, it is a premium gallery wrapped canvas. I picked earthy rustic tones and applied them with a wide flat brush, sometimes blending the colors, sometimes just focusing on the stroke of the brush and the way the paint, thick on the brush, spread across the canvas. Later-added some pastels, and blended them quite a bit. I also softened the colors. You can see the lighter re-working of the painting quite clearly.

BitterSweet

Acrylics on 18"x24" heavy paper-textures, gold, red, and turquoise tones make this peice my latest favorite. Needs to be framed-but definitly worth it!

Prayers for Paint



Dream Catcher

Acyrlics on 18"x24" heavy paper-COA from EBSQ. Finished with UV protective gloss varnish- Original, quality peice. A Gem!

Artifact

Textured abstract painting with acrylic paint and mediums to create a "sculpted" piece. It is on 9"x12" heavy paper, and finished with UV protective gloss varnish.

I made this shot in the castle yard next to the Gardens of the 'Trauttmansdorff Castle' which is located just outside of Merano (Meran) in the formerly Austrian province of Südtirol or South Tyrol – called Alto Adige in Italian. The inspiring and vibrant Gardens cover an area of just twelve hectares yet are the most popular tourist attraction in South Tyrol. They comprise more than eighty garden worlds featuring plants from across the globe.
