Missed you last week, but know you enjoyed your short break!
I have just gotten myself an Alla Prima Pochade Box, the Blackfoot model, built by Ben Haggett, who is also a painter.
I am busy setting it up, attaching tripod, etc.
Now, to get busy with my brushes!
Happy (almost) Spring!
All the best, Sandra

Beautiful painting, Julian. I so appreciate hearing about your family adventures. Would love to have seen a picture of little Louis in the snow resisting the sunglasses. Adorable.

Great feel of light in this painting, Julian. You never disappoint. I always look forward to seeing your paintings.

I'm glad to her that you were out with your family. I was getting worried -- seems like some of your other fans were somewhat concerned also. Again, your painting lifts my spirits and is a joy to behold. The colors are absolutely stunning!! Jeannine

A lovely picture with soft colours that herald spring. Louis sounds as if he has definite boundaries, but speeding down a hill on a toboggan is not one of them.

Julian, the light is so beautiful. You really caught the light of spring and that deep shadow on the side of the building...wonderful. I can feel the ground beginning to stir..
Best to you and your family

Painter’s notes

Last week we had a little break skiing in summer temperatures, in the Alps. Louis had his first go on a toboggan but didn't take to sunglasses. Spring is in the air and the almond trees are starting to blossom
