We've been in Granada, Spain for three weeks, with two weeks remaining. Having our camera stollen delayed the photo-posting, but it's been replaced now so I'll try to catch up. I try to get a bit of painting time in each morning, inspired by the view of the sunrise on the Alhambra from our terrace, and then resort inside to air conditioning in the afternoons.
Hi Julie. Granada is my favorite place...the spanish castle magic is indescribable! Got to love the Gitanos and the cave homes, despite the pickpocketing too;) I love your recent studies...it's obvious you have spent time building and studying bonfires! I have been thinking a lot about how my stupid computer distracts me from learning to play my guitar and paint, and I really appreciate the theme. I also love the piece "Capture." I'm working on some artistic educational displays as an intern at CEDO in Rocky Point Mx. I hope to post some pics on a personal blog or website soon. Send some artists down here! Lot's of great opportunities.... Take care, un abrazo! Alan Ecotourism Intern, CEDO NaturArte alanberman_88@yahoo.com
Julie Comnick’s paintings and drawings engage the pictorial languages of representation and narration to pose questions about social circumstances and practices.

Her work has been supported by grants from the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
Julie received her MFA in Painting from Montana State University in 2001 and her BA from The Evergreen State College in 1995.
