JULIE GOWING HAYES WAOW SIGNATURE, EMERITUS

Growing up on a farm in southwest Iowa helped develop a deep-rooted love of the outdoors for JULIE GOWING HAYES. Her oil paintings are inspired by the light and color she sees in nature. Hayes has a passion for birds, drawing from her hundreds of reference photos taken through countless hours of birdwatching, but she also paints landscapes, water and florals. Her studio is in the beautiful Ozarks of northwest Arkansas. Hayes is a member of Artists of Northwest Arkansas, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Plein Air Painters of the Ozarks, member and board secretary for Heart of America Artists Association and currently a board advisor for Women Artists of the West.

The Sky’s the Limit - Flycatchers, Oil, 30” x 20” $4,200 I love watching Scissortail Flycatchers perform acrobatics when taking flight, twisting, turning and swooping as they catch insects midair. This day, the adults were training their young—this is an adult and a juvenile taking a break.
