Great that you are on holiday and experiencing new stuff...

very invigorating, and a challenge to all of us who have been following your work.

Carol

This is such a soothing and mellow scene which
you captured perfectly. I can 'hear' the waves and
'feel' the breezes !!! A charming sea scape Julian.
It is difficult to paint ocean waves and you
did it so beautifully !!!!

Sandy Taylor

Julian - Such a lovely capture of what looks to be a quiet peaceful beach. I can just hear the lap lap of the gentle waves. Thank you for the wonderful image. We are all enjoying YOUR vacation!

Be careful of the black sand. On our honeymoon, my husband terribly burned the tops of his feet just burying them in the black sand....He thought they were protected, but the sun absorbed right through that dark sand.

Julian, these new painting are so refreshing! Thank you! It must be fabulous to have such beautiful new visual information. Have fun!

Have been seriously ill for six weeks. Your Bali paintings are restoring me and today's journey along the coast has touched my soul. Thank you and enjoy your holiday.

We are in the midst of snow, ice and slush here in upstate NY. My husband and I both are suffering from The Cough that is laying everyone low here. Opening your daily views of Bali lifts our spirits enormously. I think all your viewers should club together and send you there every winter! We need your gorgeous painting to sustain us through the cold, dark winter.

Julian,
This beach and water painting calmed me down. I love thinking of you there. The colors are soothing and being stuck home with a knee healing, it made me feel I must continue to work on recovery so I can walk on a beach again. And maybe paint,again.
It's so nice you are sharing your life with us.

so different from the previous days' greens. and I love the clouds as you captured them. they're always more dramatic near the coast. like when we drive from inland Connecticut to the shore, the closer we get, the sky becomes so much more animated.

Julian,
I love the softness of this painting.
And I also love my 'clementine with leaf' which I picked up today and shared with fellow artists and The Roost. I am giddy with happiness that it is mine!

Hello,
I do not speak English, I use an automatic translator, you just send a little "hello" since my Provence
see you soon,

Painter’s notes

After a lunch of fish wrapped in banana leaf at the Topi Inn in Padangbai—the ferry port to Lombok—we went south stopping on the black volcanic beaches above Sanur before heading home ( a little sunburnt)
