I received my book on Saturday. I did not have to sign for it, but my mailbox is in a secure mailroom in my building. The book is wonderful - such a range. The paintings that you included, Julian, are each different and each STUNNING!!! Thank you!!!!
I've had many reports of books arriving in the US but delivery speed seems very hit or miss - the post office said they may take from 4-6 weeks (the books weigh nearly two pounds each). You won't need to sign for it.
I have been enjoying Julian's book for almost a week, and I live at the bottom end of the DownUnder mainland. That's just slightly north of Antarctica.
So la Poste is getting through. Without my signature.
That microscopic peach fuzz is amazing.
Wonderful superposition!
Marvellous tawny sunset,and into the fruit, vaporous waves smashing the rocks; the chiaroscuro effect is so poetic.The peach seems translucent: it reminds me of these small spherical objects called "snow balls" which fascinated me when I was a child (and even... now).
I received my beautiful book last week. Unfortunately, the postman here in the US forced the package into my mailbox by bending it, which broke the spine of the book. And that wasn't easy to do, as the packaging is very stiff and should have been sufficient to protect the contents!The folks at the post office here said "sorry!" and offered me no compensation. (They even had the nerve to suggest that the bending of the package could have occured earlier in the transit process, perhaps on the ship. This is, of course, absurd!)
Despite this, the pictures are gorgeous and I am enjoying having so many stunning examples of Julian's work at my fingertips. What a treasure!!!
