Julie Trail
invites everyone to see a new collection of paintings she has created to
celebrate her love of the mountains just up the hill from her home in Sutter
Creek. “The Mountains are Calling…”, words
from John Muir, speak to Julie every time she picks up a paintbrush, as she has
loved mountains ever since her first view of the Rocky Mountains when she was
17 years old.
“To live within an
hour’s drive of such beautiful mountains as the Sierra is a dream come true,”
Julie says. She moved to California from
the east coast in 1992, and since then has spent every minute possible in the
Sierra, hiking, fishing, camping, skiing, and painting! In 2001, after moving to Sutter Creek, Julie
began to fulfill her lifelong wish to become a serious artist. Watercolor is her first love, and she paints
daily.
Julie has won many
awards for her watercolors, and she continues to learn new ways to express in
watercolor the beauty of the world that surrounds us in the Sierra
Foothills. When painting en plein air,
Julie often uses her oil paints, a medium she also enjoys, and she often brings
her plein air paintings back to the studio to use as reference for a larger
watercolor painting.
Julie’s new
collection of watercolors reflects her love of the high country landscape. Be sure to take time and see these beautiful
paintings. A reception in honor of Julie will be held at Gallery 10 on
Saturday, April 7, 2018, 2-5 P.M. This
wonderful new show will hang the month of April at Gallery 10, 15 Eureka St., Sutter Creek. Gallery hours are Thursday-Monday, 11-5.
