Welcome. My name is Juliana Crownver. “Paint and Simple” is a diary of my daily paintings. In my art I try to use light and color to bring out beauty in everyday life, whether it is the season’s first tomatoes or my son hanging laundry on the line. In that way I use my art as a reminder of where to find beauty all around us, and to slow down in our daily lives so that we may see it.
Paint and Simple is run from a small farmhouse on a four generation farm in North Central Texas.

I just discovered your art diary. Thank you so much for sharing! I adore the colors and choice of subject (live next door to you in north central Louisiana….aren’t we blessed!) It’s bittersweet…..I so long to learn how to paint half as good as you….maybe next life….until then, I’ve bookmarked your diary. You have inspired me. Thanks again!
Hi Juliana,
Awesome! website/blog. Love your latest paintings of flowers. Did not know you were a poet too, amazing! I have sent you a Facebook friend request, but it seems like you are not active on it. You can visit my blog at http://www.faisaltariq.com. Hope to see you soon sometime in the future.
Take Care,
