Wow, Julian. The last batch of paintings has been incredibly stellar! O really can't wait to open each email to see what new delight is in store. I'm in awe.
Hi Julian, I must tell you that I really look forward to opening your emails each day. I am heavily into art here in South Australia and have forwarded your website to others so they too can be impressed with the necessity to paint every day if they want to improve their work.

Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Glenda
