Wow! You precocious fellow you! You have even
mastered snow when we weren't looking. I hope
you enjoyed producing this new dimension to your bag of beautiful tricks. Lovely, simply lovely!

BOB HARDIE

Dear Julian ... what an incredible contrast your wonderful image is the the heatwave conditions currently here in Perth, Western Australia. The perspective and depth are remarkable. Clementines, onions AND snowscapes ... congratulations ... again!

Luscious, luscious! Snow! First you do flowers that we don't have here now, then you do snow, of which we've seen very little....we're in awe.

Katherine Tyrrell

Wow - gorgeous colours and lovely comp.

I was dying to see what you'd make of Provence in proper snow - and I'm hoping that you're getting a lot of painting done!

Has it snowed like this before since you've been living in Provence?

Randy Mack Bishop

I have to walk outside and go up to the studio over the garage, but no snow! Us artists have to be tough!

Stephen

Very good work Julian, has a sort of watercolour feel to it, probably the expanse of white. I am always envious of your sun filled images, even in winter months but I don't think I'd care for this too much (the temperature I mean, not the lovely painting).

Linda

Of course you didn't get to the studio on the first day of a beautiful snowfall! You have to build snowmen and make snowangels now!

Anne Conlan

How lovely to get a personal message from you. The snow looks amazing. You have much more than us - quite jealous.

We will be staying in Bedoin for Easter and hope our paths might cross.

Kind regards

Anne

Felicitations Julian. Thank you for sharing this beautiful painting, you have really captured the bright chilly winter light of Provence. I hope Louis enjoys the snow.

Hi Julian Momentarily you have more snow than we do in Toronto. It is a magical painting because it shows a wintry landscape with the possibility of spring suggested by the tops of the vines seen in a line on the edge of the hill. I hope that you and Louis had fun in the snow.

Cl-Marie

I love snow and mountains! I found that I was nearly holding my breath while looking at the painting you created. It is so beautiful. Thank-you so much!! Blessings of God to you and yours, C-Marie

Painter’s notes

Yesterday the snow fell for 24hrs and by the late afternoon was six inches deep—I didn't get to the studio.
