this just isn't fair--you are tantalizing us with a full-blown spring that does not seem like it will ever come to Boston. It would also help if you were a crappy painter but as usual, you have perfectly captured the interplay of light and landscape. Plus that big fluffy celestial blue pillow pushing down on the whole scene is spectular. Welcome back.
this is glorious julian!
eric, you should be a poet! i love the sky pillow! If its any consolation there is still a bit of snow on the top of the mountain. You can see a pic of it and the maestro on his daily plein eir rekkie over chez moi...all the best to you!
Wonderful - a veritable symphony to spring - can almost hear the bees buzzing & just beyond that corner are lttle lambs gambolling about ! Thanks Julian !
Wow, this really is lovely! I am jealous too, Spring seems to be crawling in, here in Southern Ontario.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
“Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is trimmed with snow upon the bough and goes about the woodland ride, wearing white for Eastertide.”

Aaaaaah! Spring. Absolutely stunning. best regards, Liz
Like a marvellous black bird Spreading its majestic White and lilac purple wings This enchanting tree is "taking a walk" Among the flowers' foam In an adorable orchard. Psychic phenomena... Julian, my heart Is blissfully Happy.
This is beautiful Julian, it is spring in Provence. They must smell wonderful.
What a splendid work with the loose brushwork and the bright spring light! Would that the weather here in the UK was the same but that's possibly why you live in Provence.
Tudieu! c'est superbe!!! ^^
tres boooooooooooooooooo encore mieux que en vrai
