Can you spot the dragonfly? Try and spot it on the second slide, and find the answer on the third...
This beautifully realistic work of art actually ISN'T a photograph! Julia Hargreaves is known for her incredible stylistic realism, and in the gallery we've noticed a (well-earned) trend of exclamations of amazement from visitors who wander over to her wall. Julia uses a mixture of airbrushing and painting techniques to paint the backgrounds and the fine details in the foreground: upon close inspection you can see individual hairs, feathers, the grooves in bark, and the veins and sunlight peeking through the leaves.
This specific 24x20 inch work is titled "Bird Bath", and while it was originally a painting this one we have for sale is a print (as you can imagine it takes Julia a long time to paint her originals). We do, however, carry two of her original artworks in house which you may view in Julia's artist highlight under our Instagram profile, or on our website at lloydgallery.com
Prints are an excellent way for a new art-collector to start curating their collection, as the price point of prints is drastically lower then originals. If you love Julia Hargreaves but would like to start small, we reccomend considering some of her prints to decorate your home.
(And really--- you have to come in to see the details---online photographs don't do it justice!)
