Happy Birthday to your father, Julian, and please wish him many happy returns of the day!!!
He must be very happy to see his son, his daughter-in-law, and his GRAND-SON!!!

The aerial perspective and the illusion of depth really comes across in this little gem of a painting. I want to be on that little lane and smell the sea.
Oh, it reminds me so much of my enchanting Brittany !
Delightful ! Thank you, Julian.
My English stepfather turned 88 today. Happy birthday to our beloved ones and may they brighten our lives for years and years !
Hi Julian?
A lovely painting. It reminds me of Stoke Fleming, where I stayed on the Devon coast in 1978. I composed a short choral piece, "Stoke Fleming," setting a poem that I wrote there.

Happy Birthday, Papa of Julian! You have created a beautiful son who has brought me so much joy and comfort through his miracle paintings. Thank you for bringing Julian into the world.
Hugs and kisses to you,

I love the painting. I look forward to your inspiration for me daily.
Thanks you so much.
I also extend a Birthday wish to your father.
Keep on doin' what you do, as if you had a choice.
Love, LaWanda
The theme of the door or fence open is so symbolic: wide open on the vast spaces of collective imagination,open to the way of the truth of life.Open to humble happiness."All we need to do is to open the Door",you paint.Thank you for making that work.
Hi Julian
I hope that your father is still celebrating his 85th birthday. I have really enjoyed your recent paintings that embrace the idea this everything is local. The light and colours are very different than those that depict Provence. I hope Louis is enjoying the celebrations and exploring a new space.

I add my well wishes to your father - I hope he is proud of you. I would join any of your fans in a stroll along this headland, then for lunch and tea at the end. Lovely.
Yes, give my best wishes to you father as well! I just turned 60 and will be flying to Paris on Sunday. Tell your dad not to slow down! (OH, LOVED today's painting!)
