Kissing In The Blue Dark by Julie Clifford

“Kissing in the Blue Dark”

Is an enchanting limited edition Giclée print by Julie Clifford, capturing a moment of intimacy and mystery. The artwork evokes the feeling of standing in a field of wildflowers under a starlit sky, enveloped in the deep blue hues of night.

A Midnight Embrace

The background features a blend of deep blues and greys, reminiscent of a night sky. Splatters of paint in various shades of white and silver add a sense of sparkle and depth to the piece. Moreover, the artist’s technique gives the impression of moonlight filtering through the flowers, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere.

Floral Whispers

In the foreground, an array of flowers in shades of blue and white create a delicate tapestry of colours. Thin, dark lines represent the stems, adding depth and structure to the composition. The overall effect is one of quiet passion, capturing the essence of a stolen kiss under the stars.

Framing and Presentation

The Giclée print is beautifully framed, enhancing the artwork’s visual appeal and providing a polished finish. The frame complements the colours within the print, creating a cohesive and sophisticated presentation. This piece would make a stunning addition to any home, bringing a touch of romance and mystery indoors.

Julie Clifford Art: A Devon Artist

Is a mixed media painter based in Devon, where she creates dramatic landscapes. Her art captures the magic of nature through vibrant images, featuring dramatic skies, wildflowers, and a dreamlike quality. Colour plays a central role in her work. Indeed, her paintings are full of burning clouds, moody storms, and colours that seem to drip off the canvas in layers of wildflowers.

Spontaneous Techniques

Julie employs a variety of unconventional methods to apply paint, including dribbling, splattering, and dropping it onto the canvas. Sponges, rags, old sauce bottles, and even her hands serve as tools in her artistic process. The result is spontaneous and gestural. Moreover, accidental splatters transform into flower buds and fields moving in the wind.

Subtle Details

Hints of fine glitters are applied through the many layers that make up the final image. This allows the artwork to change as the light shifts throughout the day.

Education and Future

Julie graduated with a degree in Fine Art in 2012 after studying at Plymouth University. Now, she is returning this year to study for a PGCE to become a Secondary School Art Teacher, sharing her passions with the next generation of artists.
