Dear Julian, Nicest fig painting so far, I think. Beautiful. Receiving your postcard is a special event each day and one I look forward to with great anticipation. It's like opening up a small, special gift. Thank you!

Feat of strength. Everything is mute and romantic here like in Honeymoon's sonata of Beethoven... Mysterious alchemy between sounds, colours and feelings... and without any sentimentality.

To reach this high level of excellence, we have to master glazing technique; otherwise no ability to get the same sense of depth or this way to blend the fruits in the background. We have to realize how difficult it is to create the reverberations seen in the bottom of the background, whithout glazes. And no impalpable atmosphere. No feeling of actual and striking presence.

Thank you , Julian-actually this is a bit how i work, but my scumbles are pretty amateurish as yet. But the underpainting bit helps a lot, i find that a lot of turps will dry it so i can paint over it... I love this underpainting of yours , works like a dream-these figs are flat-out gorgeous, magnificent.

Brilliant, brilliant! I love working with oils, despite the smell and clean up. I do wish I had more time to devote to painting to enhance my skills, or rather loosen my skills. I try to go for perfection in my paintings, forgetting about the key factor: implication.
