I like so much this joyful picture.And particularly; these white flowers in front of the vineyaed.Like cabbage white butterflies which are dancing...Suddenlt all the tree seems to be filled of thousands of whitr butterflies rustling alltogether before a Van Goghian sky.The old cherry tree is happy.

Hi Julian:
It was so nice to get this today and see all the beautiful spring colours. It's still cold here in Canada. Although it's getting brighter, snow is still lingering on the ground. Thanks :) ...and Happy Birthday Julian's dad!

What a delightful painting you have made for your Dad's birthday. It is nature's lace and a foretaste of things to come. I hope your dad has a tasty treat; at 84 he deserves it.

Would that I could come with a blanket and a thermos of hot chocolate, and spend an hour under that tree. Such frilly, silly flowers and such a happy painting. I hope your father has a lovely birthday.

Such a beautiful tribute to your Father, Julian. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many good wishes to your dad.

a beautiful ptg, 84 is a pretty good age, enjoy your dad now, I lost mine several years back, it's weird being an orphan even at 21 or 53. I lost my grandmother who reared me from 5 months on, I had an extremely hard time coping........your a lucky man Julian, make time for dad, how about a portrait of him? CELEBRATE LIFE.......SPRINGS' RENEWAL

What a joyous painting Julian, eliciting such a beautiful description from Alain. I hope your father is as happy today as the apple tree! I also love Barbara's phrase 'nature's lace' -delightful.

Thank all of Julian's friends for such a lovely Birthday Greeting.
With five children and ten (plus one on the way from Mali) grandchildren and such a wonderful daughter in law as Ruth I am much blessed.
Julian works so hard. I hope to see them all in May !
