I really like your portraits. I paint and teach dry and oil pastels. I work in oils and pastels and paint plein aire- still life- portraits etc. My favorite genre is portrait painting and my least successful/favorite is working with still Life. However, I think it is such good discipline! I don't have a web site but am on Women Painters of Washington site. I really have to update the images because they are 2 years old. I enjoy receiving your daily images very much.

Dear Julian, I think this is my favorite of the self-portraits you have shown us here. The warmth of the light and the warm glints in the skin and the wonderful glow from the turtleneck. It all just glows with a winter spark. Thanks

What a gorgeous way to celebrate your 50th birthday! You look pensive, intense, as well as serene and extremely happy!

Your paintings are exotic and I love the play of color strokes in shade and light. Seeing your paintings makes me restless to try out some still life myself.
