About Me
- Name: Julia Kay
- Location: United States
Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.

Ooooh ... I love it! It's your inner schoolmarm...
My thought was librarian, but I think you're right. It was the glasses that pulled it all together - I've noticed I tend to leave them off when I'm drawing 'from imagination' but this face had to have them.
Can any one out there help me, an elderly friend of mine asked me to find out what I could about a painting that was given to her & her husband as a gift many years ago...She believes that it was done in the 40's sometime & is called "The yellow Turban"
I have been on line looking & none of the painting with or close to that title are the one! This painting is of a young girl in her late teens or early 20's wearing a yellow band around her head & it is from the shoulders up!
