#FriendlyFridayShout Out Julie Shunick Brown
Julie Shunick Brown is a contemporary artist in Dallas, TX.
I love what she has to say about her process. “My painting evolves as life does. Currently, the process is intuitive - no preconception or idea of the end result. The work gets more deliberate and intentional as it progresses but it develops as a reaction to what is on the canvas. I focus on composition and color and the result is a surprise that often seems reflective of life.”

Workshop vs Class
There are times I wonder if a workshop is more of a one-time event that can last hours or days and is more of an intensive study, where a class is a repeated event on the same subject meeting multiple times. Does that make a difference to you?
I realize that it doesn’t really matter but it’s just on of those things that takes up space in my mind. -

Being an Artist
What a great list. If only someone had mentioned this to me years ago. I was so bullheaded and thought I knew everything when I was young. Back then I called it confidence, today I call it arrogance. Even now many moons later it’s a good list to reference.
There is way more I which I’d been told but somethings you have to find out for yourself in your own time.
