You've captured the colour perfectly.
I can picture you now. In fact I might still have the record of the code to connect to the wifi in my handbag! ;)
I've posted my pics of the lavender fields at Sault on Flickr - which includes the map of the lavender fields at the Belvedere de la Nesque. There are just so many fields!
So - do you go/come back over the top of Mont Ventoux? :)
Seeing this beauty made me realize just how much I've missed your "postcards." I do hope there will be much more lavender in the days to come.
And thanks for posting the gorgeous "apples." I didn't think I could like another still life as much as the peaches one... but I was wrong!
I am an amateur artist, just returned from two weeks in Tours, where I visited many chateaux, ancient churches, troglo, and vineyards. Your postcards are an inspiration and a joy to receive. When I returned, Ruth's book was happily awaiting me. It took me right back to France, and increased my feeling of connection with you both. I do feel as though I'm part of the family, or at least a friend. It was so beautifully written,I didn't want it to end! I hope she will write more about your life together and with the baby.
Dear Julian,
It is wonderful to 'see' you again !!! Love the
lavender field ...umm I can 'smell' it too hahahhaa.
I wish.. How is the baby ? Bet he keeps you busy.
He is so cute !!!!
Julian, you make my day, even if I can't ever own any sure get a lot of joy from just seeing your paintings. I love painting and do some every week but know I am just an everlasting not too promising student. But hey, you gotta do what you do. All blessings on you for doing it so well and sharing this way. All the best to you and yours now especially the 3 closest. Or should I say four and include the painting? YES!!!!!!!
This is simply marvelous. Seeing the comment about how much the writer missed your "Postcards," And I realized just how much I did as well. Glad to have them dropping into my email again. Hope your e-connections come back soon. Wishing you all well.
I have no words to describe how beautiful your paintings are. I love the still life works and the landscapes too. The essence of French country side is palpable in your works. Look forward to every painting.
Finally got to open the apples and comfit pot.
Amazing light and color. Thank you for sharing your gift for capturing the magic in daily objects.
So happy to hear from you and see your work once again.
Congratulations upon your new family. Can't wait to see a portrait of your son!
