One of your most original paintings for my part since...The beginning!Here I appreciate the creativity of a brush with complete freedom!A teetering picture as many landscapes of Soutine!A sloping skyline which marries the roundness of the Earth,and,and...A hallucinating vision: a gigantic fish,in profile,with its wide-open mouth,is going to swallow a smaller one!They fill together the whole vegetation and earth.The purple colour is haunting.
This painting strictly comes from the Unconscious.

Hi Julian,
I have been receiving your posts for quite awhile now and I want to let you know how much I enjoy them and look forward to them. I am an artist as well and It is so wonderful to be able to see such wonderful paintings from other artists. I just started daily painting recently, and I am determined to increase my skill level.
Thanks again for the daily inspiration.

This is magical; the perspective and colours make this unique. When I am there in September, I will have to find this place. Bravo Julian

This is one of those masterworks that shock me with simplicity(?) and truth. I see it and think "Of course! This is the way it must be painted," even though only the master could have conceived it and made it happen.
Bravo!

Painter’s notes

The morning sun illuminating the limestone cliffs and boulders of the garrigue above Crillon-le-Brave. A path follows the horizon line eventually petering out just below the summit of the Mont Ventoux
