This is the first time I’ve featured the work of a fellow artist on my blog.
When I first started to blog, I made the decision to keep my intentions simple and though I’ve been quite tempted to highlight the work of artists I admire, I have only shown you my various efforts.
Today I’m making an exception because the artist whose work I’m featuring is my son.
Gesture, humor, elegance and the drama of the human condition converge and surprise in Julian Cartwright’s drawings and paintings.
Enjoy!

Your son has inherited the talent from you. It’s a very talented artist. Congratulations to your son, dear Elena! 🙂
Stroke of genius.. and it makes me smile, music to my eyes, well done Elena.
He’ll be so pleased to read this. Thank you Doron!
🙂
These are just brilliant! Something so satisfying about them, they feel like music and words as well as artwork. What a talented family!
So astute Cath! Julian is also a composer, producer, arranger, musician, and singer/songwriter:) Thanks so much!
The illustrator’s gene has obviously been passed on!
All kinds of nutty genes;)
What can I say that hasn’t already been said, the line drawings are wonderful. With a few strokes of your brush, you say so much, Elena. Your son with a few lines of his pen says so much also.
So kind. Thank you Adrian:)
Wow, these are wonderful! I especially love the first image. Thank you for sharing Julian’s work with us, Elena.
My great pleasure Rachel. Thank YOU:)
How cool is this?! Great sketches – filled with wonderment and creativity, why would I think anything else considering his creative parents.
Wonderment, yes, I think so too Mary:) Thanks so very much!
These drawings are lovely Elena, and there is a subtle connection to your work. You must be very proud of him!
I am indeed proud:) Thanks so much Anna!
His work is great! Glad you shared it.
Thanks so much Janel-I’m pleased you enjoyed it:)

Thanks very much Nuno:)!
I concur
Thank you very much Terry:)
Brilliant! You are obviously a very talented family.
We’re a little bit right brained for sure;) Thanks Richard!
The first piece you’ve featured here I think is amazing. Intricate care give to each stroke it seems. It along with the other creative drawings have been wonderful to take in.
I’m glad you enjoyed them Allyson. Thanks very much:)
It seems that there is a natural flow and talent within the family Elena ! Wonderful art work .. your son has great talent ! Lovely website link 🙂
Thanks ever so much Poppy:)!
Oh wow!!!! Love love LOVE it!!!
I’ll be sure to pass it along. Thanks very much Belinda!
There’s a saying about the apple falling not far from the tree!!! 🙂
🙂 Thanks Marina!
Very interesting work, I like
Thanks very much Daisy:)
Wonderful work! Congrats on your son! 🙂
I’ll be sure to tell him. Thank you!
Interesting how the coloured pieces seem to have quite a different character to the others. The coloured pieces I think are charming and whimsical. The others I find more thought-provoking. I wasn’t sure I liked them at first but after the third pass they’ve grown on me considerably. I hope you’ll be sharing more of Julian’s work. Maybe he should start his own blog…
I’ve have mentioned to him that a blog is probably a good idea;) Thanks very much for you comments Sarah!
You’re welcome.
This is really amazing, your son has a great talent, art has decided to stay in the family…
Best wishes Elena.
We all artsy in one way or another:) Thanks so much Belen!
There is so much fabulous detail between his finely drawn lines, what a wonderful introduction!
Much appreciated Patti! Thank you:)
Amazingly advanced approach to structure an image.
(Give a damn to any conventional likeliness or typical likely idea)
What a talented sun you got.
Unconventional for sure:) Thanks so very much Yoshi:)
Brilliant! I really enjoyed visiting his website!
Great Robin! Thank you, I’ll tell him:)
Lovely work! He has lots of expression in his line and drawings, and I love the way the spaces he leaves have as much power as the lines he occupies!
You’ve got it Palmira! I love the “space” in his work as well. Thanks so much:)
Nice art, seems that talent is flowing through the genes…:)
Thanks very nice of you to say. Thank you!
These are wonderful! A very talented family!
Thanks ever so much!
Love it!
Thanks Hansi, I’ll tell him!
Beautiful! Very fluid and dynamic.
I will tell him. Thank you Cindy!
You have a very talented son Elena! These are amazing!
I must agree:) Thanks much Jess!
